LET'S BE PROUD THAT WE ARE AND ALWAYS WILL BE

Once all texts, relating to the Genocide, were withdrawn from the educational program for schools. Any talk on this topic was also prohibited. And one high-ranking official has even said that Armenians themselves are guilty of what happened in 1915.

However, all efforts of those in office to suppress this issue were in vain. Today overwhelming majority of the Genocide Museum visitors are children and the youth. One ten-grader wrote in the museum’s book for replies: “This day is unforgettable. I am proud that after all trials we went through, we still exist and will always exist!”

Another record: "One should have an iron heart to look at Turks’ atrocities. My grandmother died being desperately homesick for her native land. I hope my grandchildren will live in our historic motherland".

Russian actress Irina Alferova writes: ”I can hardly imagine that entire nation was doomed to extermination. I am fighting back tears…This isn’t to be forgotten”.

Every year the heads of different states used to visit Genocide Museum. They commemorated the victims of the Genocide by lying wreaths at the memorial and planting firs on the museum compound.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has written in the book: “Russia always takes the tragedy and pain of Armenian people as its own. We bow our heads before the memory of the Genocide victims.
