President of the House of Representatives of Uruguay, Ana Olivera, and Vice-President Pedro Khisdonyan Visit the Armenian Genocide Memorial Complex


29.08.2024


On August 29, Ana Olivera, President of the House of Representatives of Uruguay, and Pedro Khisdonyan, Vice-President of the House of Representatives, visited the Armenian Genocide Memorial Complex. They were accompanied by Sargis Khandanyan, head of the Standing Committee on Foreign Relations of the National Assembly of Armenia, and Mariam Gevorgyan, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Armenia to Uruguay.

Lusine Abrahamyan, Deputy Director for Museum Affairs at the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute (AGMI), welcomed the delegation and guided them through the Genocide Memorial Complex, providing insights into its historical significance. She also shared the stories behind the three khachkars at Tsitsernakaberd, dedicated to Armenians who perished in massacres orchestrated by the Azerbaijani government in Sumgait, Kirovabad (Gandzak), and Baku in the late 20th century. Additionally, she recounted the lives of five freedom fighters interred before the Memory Wall, who lost their lives during the struggle for Artsakh's survival, highlighting the ongoing relevance of the Armenian Genocide in light of contemporary persecution and violence against Armenians.

Mrs. Olivera paid tribute to the victims of the Armenian Genocide by laying a wreath at the memorial. The delegation then laid flowers at the Eternal Fire and observed a minute of silence in honor of the innocent martyrs of the Armenian Genocide.

During the visit, the guests explored both the permanent and temporary exhibitions at the Armenian Genocide Museum and left notes in the Memory Book for Honorary Guests. As a gesture of appreciation, Mrs. Abrahamyan presented Mrs. Olivera with books about the Armenian Genocide, and Mrs. Olivera, in turn, presented a book to the Armenian Genocide Museum.
