The memorandum is valid for a period of 5 years from the date of signature.

The liaisons from signing parties are Edita Gzoyan, the Deputy Director of the Genocide Museum InstituteI, and Clint Curle, the Senior Adviser to the CMHR President.

The event was also attended by Armen Yeganyan, the Head of the RA Ministry of Foreign Affairs Policy Planning Department, Her Excellency Ms. Annick Goulet, Chargee d’Affaires a.i. Embassy of Canada in Armenia with residence in Moscow, Mr. Greg Sarkissian, the President of the Zoryan Institute of Canada, as well as the staff of the Genocide Museum Institute.
