A group of Turkish journalists, that arrived in Armenia, this morning visited Tsitsernakaberd Memorial Complex to pay tribute and lay flowers to the eternal light, NEWS.am correspondent informs.

Thereupon, they went to the Armenian Genocide Museum and familiarized themselves with its history, objectives and programs.
The director of Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute Hayk Demoyan said that the journalists were interested in Armenian Genocide 100th anniversary events and Armenia’s participation in Armenian-Turkish historians’ sub-committee.
Demoyan reckons there is nothing wrong with speaking his mind freely in any format, but his compelling stand is impossibility to discuss Armenian Genocide. He underlined that Armenia freely voices its stance, whereas Turkish representatives cannot do so fearing to be condemned under 301 article.

According to him, the number of virtual and real visits to Genocide Museum increased since September, 2008. Over two hundred people take the Armenian Genocide Memorial and Museum virtual tour daily mostly from the U.S. and Turkey. This year the museum hosted 3.000 Turkish people.
