The Russian parliamentarians laid flowers at the eternal flame commemorating the victims of this genocide, the NA informed Armenian News-NEWS.am.

Also, the Russian lawmakers visited the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute, toured its exhibits documenting the Genocide, and made a note in its book of honored guests.

Tatiana Kusaiko stated that she agrees with Russian President Vladimir Putin that he considers the killing of Armenians a personal pain of Russia. "The visit to the [genocide] museum left a deep impression on me (...). I realized how important friendship and peace are for the whole world so that such a crime against humanity is not repeated. What happened to Armenians is a very difficult lesson that we must overcome and learn from," she said.

Separately, the Russian parliamentarians attended—at the Yerevan city—the official opening of the exhibition, entitled "Heritage in danger: Artsakh."
