Geoffroy Didier, French member of the European Parliament, visited the Armenian Genocide Memorial complex on December 6.

The delegation was greeted by Lusine Abrahamyan, AGMI Deputy Director for Museum Affairs, who narrated the history of the creation of the Memorial complex. She also presented the guests with the history of the three khachkars placed in the Tsitsernakaberd area in memory of the Armenians who died in the massacres in the cities of Sumgait, Kirovabad (Gandzak) and Baku in the last century organised by the Azerbaijani government, and the stories of the five freedom fighters buried in front of Memory Wall during the Artsakh war, emphasising the connection between what happened then and the Armenian Genocide.

Mr. Geoffroy Didier laid a wreath at the memorial to the victims of the Armenian Genocide, after which the accompanying guests laid flowers at the Eternal Fire and observed a minute’s silence in memory of the innocent martyrs of the Armenian Genocide.

He also toured the genocide museum accompanied by AGMI senior guide Hasmik Martirosyan and became acquainted with its permanent and temporary exhibitions, after which he left a note in the Memory Book for honoured guests.
