YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 11, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. The delegation
headed by Gholam Ali Haddad Adel, the Majlis Speaker of the Islamic
Republic of Iran, which pays an official visit to Armenia, by RA
National Assembly Speaker Tigran Torosian’s invitation, visited
Tsitsernakabert on September 11 and laid a wreath to the memorial
complex to Armenian Genocide victims. Lavrenti Barseghian, the
Director of the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute mentioned that
a small part of the Armenian people found refuge in 1915-1918 in
Persia, so the Persian people knows very well what consequences the
Genocide had for the Armenians. It is not accidental that 4 years ago,
Armenian members of the Iranian Parliament arose at the Parliament the
issue of condemning and recognizing the Armenian Genocide," Lavrenti
Barseghian emphasized and expressed confidence that time would come
when the Iranian Parliament would recognize the Armenian Genocide.
