YEREVAN, MARCH 20, ARMENPRESS: The Genocide Museum in Yerevan, which
is run by the Armenian National Academy of Sciences, will have a
display of new documents and other evidence of the brutal murder of
1.5 million Armenians by the government of Turkey in the last years
of the Ottoman Empire.
The display will open on April 20, 4 days ahead of April 24, when
Armenians worldwide will mark the 92-nd anniversary of this crime.
Hayk Demoyan, a young historian, who was appointed the Museum's
director recently, said they will be working in the next five years to
prepare what he called ' a super new exhibition of facts and evidence
of the first genocide in the past century."
Demoyan said all questionable documents of vague origin will be
removed from the current display, saying also the Museum will undergo a
sweeping interior remodeling and part of the new display will depict
the life of Armenians in their homeland in Western Armenia, which is
now in Turkey before Turkish rulers ordered the complete annihilation
of the Armenian race in 1915.
Demoyan said the Museum will also seek contacts with Diaspora-based
Armenian organizations which have many documents and evidence of the
genocide. He said an online bulletin in English and French will be
released beginning from Aril to present the Museum and its activities.
"The bulletin will be our voice and we shall be in permanent contact
with foreign organizations,' Demoyan said. The Genocide Institute,
an affiliation of the Museum. will be releasing a journal called
Xenophobia and Genocidal Researches in English two issues a year.
Another direction of the activity, according to Demoyan, will be to
collect the evidence of survivors of the genocide, whose number is
dwindling with each passing year.
