YEREVAN, MAY 2, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. The exhibits of the
Museum-Institute of the Armenian Genocide have increased: new subjects
and materials about the Musa Ler heroic battle have been obtained. The
museum also displays materials containing evidence of Islam-professing
witnesses who, based on provisions of the Muslim religion, condemned
the actions committed against Armenians by the Ottoman Empire.
Director of the Museum-Institute of the Armenian Genocide Hayk Demoyan
said during a talk with NT correspondent that by diplaying photos in
the first hall of the museum, they attempted to recreate the visual
image of Western Armenia, including its urban and rural population,
all spheres of social activities, schools and printing offices.
In his words, an attemp is made to show by means of these photos at
what level of development the Armenians of the Ottoman Empire were and
what took place in Western Armenia. "The Ottoman Empire's section,
which did not comprehend the development of Armenians' activity,
chose the way of destruction," he is convinced.
Hayk Demoyan said that the process of digitalization of the museum
exhibitions and materials will start within the next 3-4 years. First
of all, audio and video records of talks with survivors of the Armeian
Genocide will be digitalized. Collection of information and evidence
is now underway.
