Last week, members of the “Courir Pour La Mémoire” (Run for the Memory) association, along with the Vice Consul of Marseille, Madeleine Proshian, were welcomed at the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute (AGMI).
The group presented AGMI Director Dr. Edita Gzoyan with the documentary film Janabarh, La Route de la Mémoire, which follows a group of Armenians who journeyed 2,500 km from Marseille to Yerevan in tribute to the survivors of the Armenian Genocide. This 20-day journey through several European countries symbolized the route of Armenians forcibly displaced during the genocide, but with a new purpose: returning to their homeland and honoring survival.
Following this, members of the French Armenian Youth Association performed Le Vent des Montagnes (Wind of the Mountains), composed by Michael Vemyan, at the Armenian Genocide Memorial.
Our compatriots from France also toured the Armenian Genocide Museum, where Senior Tour Guide Hasmik Martirosyan led them through the permanent and temporary exhibitions.
