Delegation of Judeo-Christian Union "Save Armenia" Visits Armenian Genocide Memorial


26.07.2024


On July 25, a delegation from the Judeo-Christian Union "Save Armenia," led by Dr. Alveda King, niece of Martin Luther King Jr., visited the Armenian Genocide Memorial. The delegation comprised prominent leaders from the US evangelical community and experts from non-governmental organizations based in Washington. Officially established in 2024, the union aims to unite Christian communities worldwide in support of Armenia.

During their visit, the delegation toured the Armenian Genocide Museum with AGMI tour guide Elen Hakobyan, exploring both permanent and temporary exhibitions. AGMI Director Edita Gzoyan then guided them to the Armenian Genocide Memorial, providing insights into its creation and significance.

Dr. Gzoyan shared the stories behind three khachkars at Tsitsernakaberd, commemorating Armenians who perished in massacres orchestrated by the Azerbaijani government in Sumgait, Kirovabad (Gandzak), and Baku at the end of the 20th century. She also recounted the stories of five freedom fighters buried near the Memory Wall who lost their lives during the Artsakh conflict. Dr. Gzoyan emphasized the connection between the Armenian Genocide and contemporary instances of persecution and violence against Armenians, discussing the historical and legal aspects of the Artsakh issue while condemning Azerbaijan's anti-Armenian actions and propaganda.

The US delegation placed flowers near the Eternal Fire and observed a moment of silence in honor of the innocent martyrs of the Armenian Genocide. At the end of their visit, they proceeded to the Memory Alley and planted a fir tree in memory of the Armenian Genocide martyrs.
