The “Go East” programme that supports youth, implemented within the framework of cooperation between the YSMU “Heratsi” High School and the Federal Republic of Germany’s Cologne Ursulinen Real School, aims to promote the culture of preserving historical memory as a means of excluding future genocides. Its theme this year is “How we remember the Holocaust and the Armenian Genocide: a look at Armenia’s and Germany’s past in order to shape and value the present and the future.” The students who arrived in Armenia from Germany as part of the programme were received at the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute on April 16.
Regina Galustyan, a researcher at the AGMI V. Dadrian Department of Comparative Genocide Studies, gave the guests a lecture titled “Methods of implementing of the Armenian Genocide: deportation”. The speaker emphasised that deportation was a new method used by the Turkish authorities to exterminate Armenians.
