The guests were greeted by Lusine Abrahamyan, AGMI Deputy Director for Museum affairs. She guided the visitors to the Memorial Complex, sharing the history of its establishment. The Deputy Director also spoke about three khachkars (cross-stones) installed in the Tsitsernakaberd area, which commemorate the Armenians who were victims of the massacres organized by the Azerbaijani government in the cities of Sumgait, Kirovabad (Gandzak), and Baku at the end of the last century. She also presented the stories of five freedom fighters who were buried near the Memorial Wall during the Artsakh Liberation War, emphasizing the connection between these events and the Armenian Genocide.
