Prior to the 92nd anniversary of the Armenian Genocide the Genocide
Museum-Institute of RA Academy of Sciences will have a display of
new documents.

Director of the Genocide-Museum-Institute Hayk Demoyan told Armenpress
that the display will open on April 20, 4 days ahead of April 24,
when Armenians worldwide will mark the 92nd anniversary of this crime.

Hayk Demoyan said they will be working in the next five years to
prepare what he called "a super new exhibition of facts and evidence
of the first genocide in the past century."

Demoyan said all questionable documents of vague origin will be
removed from the current display, saying also the Museum will undergo
a sweeping interior remodelling and part of the new display will
depict the life of Armenians in their homeland in Western Armenia,
which is now in Turkey before Turkish rulers ordered the complete
annihilation of the Armenian race in 1915.

The Director also said the Museum will also seek contacts with
Diaspora-based Armenian organizations which have many documents and
evidence of the genocide. He said an online bulletin in English and
French will be released beginning from Aril to present the Museum
and its activities. Another direction of the activity, according to
Demoyan, will be to collect the evidence of survivors of the genocide,
whose number is dwindling with each passing year.
