ARMENIAN GENOCIDE EXPOSITION AT RWANDA MEMORIAL
During her recent visit to Rwandan capital of Kigali, Susanna Den,
adviser at the US Agency for International Development, was pleasantly
surprised to see an Armenian Genocide exposition at the local Genocide
Memorial. She told this to The Armenian Mirror Spectator correspondent.
The Memorial opened in 2004 to mark the 10th anniversary of
genocide in Rwanda and is largely dedicated to the memory of
250.000 victims. However, the Memorial also represents the history
of genocides. The Memorial came into being thanks to the efforts of
Kigali~Rs Municipal Board and British Aegis Trust. Already 60.000
people have visited the Memorial since it opened its doors. To
remind, the Aegis Trust demanded on April 24 of this year the British
authorities to exert pressure on Turkey to recognize the Armenian
genocide.
I want to ask here: how many people in Armenia know about the Rwandan
genocide?
