On October 18, the U.S. Congressional Delegation led by by House Democracy Partnership Commission Chairman David Price visited the Armenian Genocide Memorial, accompanied by Eduard Aghajanyan, Chairman of the National Assembly’s Standing Committee on Foreign Relations.

The guests were welcomed by Lusine Abrahamyan, the AGMI Deputy Director for Museum Affairs, who presented the history of the creation of the Memorial. She also presented the history of the three khachkars placed in the Tsitsernakaberd area in memory of the Armenians who died in the massacres organised by the Azerbaijani government in the cities of Sumgait, Kirovabad (Gandzak), and Baku in the last century.

David Price laid a wreath at the Genocide Monument; the members of the American delegation then laid flowers at the Eternal Fire and observed a minute’s silence in memory of the innocent martyrs of the Armenian Genocide.

Lusine Abrahamyan accompanied the American guests to the Memory Wall, behind which the relics of foreign public figures, politicians, and missionaries are being interred, who raised their voice of protest against the Armenian Genocide carried out by the Turkish government.
