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?

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
