During a conversation with Armenian News-NEWS.am, Director of the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute Harutyun Marutyan said the Museum-Institute holds at least two temporary exhibitions every year and that this year one of the exhibitions will be devoted to the stories of certain families of victims or survivors of the Armenian Genocide.

Marutyan explained that the exhibitions are usually devoted to a general topic, but this time the Museum-Institute decided to cover this topic and present the destinies of families. He added that the second temporary exhibition will be held in the fall.

“There were several educational institutions that operated in the Ottoman Empire and Western Armenia. The Museum-Institute has preserved the graduation certificates that were granted by those institutions,” Marutyan said and mentioned that the Museum-Institute recently presented a book presenting the memories of those who survived the Armenian Genocide, has published four books and will publish another three or four this year.
