The Armenian Union of Bucharest was the venue for Monday’s session of the local commission for holding commemorative events devoted to 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.   

On the same day, Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute Director Hayk Demoyan delivered a lecture at the University of Bucharest.

In his intervention, Demoyan stressed that the Armenian Genocide is not a historical past, but rather something in the present because the Turkish authorities continue to exert pressure upon Armenia, intimidate and pursue those express in favor of historical justice, conduct a denialist policy on international level, and insult and discredit the descendants of the Genocide victims.   

And on Sunday, Hayk Demoyan and Armenia’s Ambassador to Romania, Hamlet Gasparyan, were on hand at the official opening of the new Cultural Home building at the Armenian Center of Bucharest. During this event, the Romanian versions of Academician Nikolay Hovhannisyan’s “Armenian Genocide” and Rafael de Nogales Méndez’s “Four Year’s Beneath the Crescent” were introduced.
