The delegation headed by Christian Haase, Member of the Bundestag of the Federal Republic of Germany, which included Dr. Herbert Grieshop, Head of the External Relations Department of the Free University of Berlin, and Dr. Andreas Trump, Head of the Hotline Research Service, visited the Armenian Genocide Memorial on December 8.

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, emphasizing the connection between what happened and the Armenian Genocide.

The German guests laid flowers at the Eternal Fire and observed a minute’s silence in memory of the innocent martyrs of the Armenian Genocide.

They also toured the Armenian Genocide Museum accompanied by AGMI senior guide Hasmik Martirosyan, becoming acquainted with the permanent and temporary exhibitions there, after which a representative of the Norwegian Parliament made a note in the Memory Book for Honourable Guests.
