According to the beautiful tradition already established, the award ceremony for Armenian participants in the 51st Lidice International Children's Fine Art Exhibition was held in the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute on April 4. This year the international exhibition was titled “Dance”.

Edita Gzoyan, Director of the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute, welcomed the participants and attendees to the exhibition, saying, “I am glad to welcome you and be your host at the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute. This beautiful event is a unique tribute to the memory of the innocent children killed by the German Nazis in the Czech village of Lidice, as well as to the memory of the innocent children killed by the Turks during the Armenian Genocide. It is no coincidence that the conclusion of the competition takes place in the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute.”

Petr Pirunčík, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Czech Republic to Armenia, then presented the participants with diplomas and prizes.

The Lidice International Children's Fine Art Exhibition was founded in 1967 in memory of the children killed by the German Nazis in the Czech village of Lidice during the war.
