A group of around twenty students from the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights, visiting Armenia on a study trip, toured the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute.

The students took part in a discussion on the Armenian Genocide and the phenomenon of genocide in general with Harutyun Marutyan, Head of the AGMI Department for the Study of the Oppression of Armenians in Artsakh, Nakhichevan, and other Armenian-populated regions of Azerbaijan; Suren Manukyan, Head of the V. Dadrian Department of Comparative Genocide Studies; Narek Poghosyan, researcher at the same department; and Robert Tatoyan, researcher at the Department of Source Studies on the Armenian Genocide. The discussion also touched upon the forced displacement of Armenians from Artsakh, Azerbaijan’s state-sponsored anti-Armenian policies, as well as the ongoing situation in Gaza.

During their visit, the Geneva Academy students explored the museum’s permanent and temporary exhibitions. Afterwards, accompanied by Harutyun Marutyan, they visited the Armenian Genocide Memorial and paid their respects to the memory of the innocent victims.
