Armenia’s President Armen Sarkissian is proposing the construction of a vast park on the grounds of the Dzidzernagapert Armenian Genocide Memorial Complex in an effort to make it more historically inclusive.

In addition to suggesting the planting of 1.5 million trees to represent the Martyrs of the Genocide, he also proposed that the park be sectioned to represent the provinces of Western Armenia, the Diaspora and present-day Armenia
