YEREVAN. – About 180 thousand people visited the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute—in Armenia’s capital city of Yerevan—in the year past, its director, Hayk Demoyan, noted at a press conference on Friday.
He added that 1,500 of these visitors were Turkish citizens.
“An exhibition devoted to Armenian Genocide will open in May in [Latvia’s capital city of] Riga, in the area of the Jewish ghetto; this is the second permanent exhibition,” Demoyan said. “In the past, such an exhibition had opened in Lebanon.”
He said this is the first time that a permanent exhibition of Armenian Genocide will open in a European city.
“Let’s hope it’s only the beginning,” Hayk Demoyan added.
