Today the "Liberal Jews of Great Britain" visited the Genocide museum
and institute in Yerevan. As the museum’s director, Hayk Demoyan,
told panorama.am, rabbis Danny Rich and Ruth Barnett were part of
the delegation. A seminar and dialogue titled "The Armenian Genocide
in the Ottoman Empire" was held. The visit by the rabbis had a
pre-planned program.
Demoyan presented the guests with the current state of Armenia-Turkey
relations. He told of the Turkish offer for historians to come together
and study the facts of the Genocide.
The explanations by Demoyan were convincing to the point where the
guests thanked him, saying that before they had only known one-sided
points of view. During the course of the visit, the guests planted
a tree in the garden south of the Genocide victims’ memorial.
Arrangements were made for the delegation to be present for next
year’s 93rd anniversary Genocide commemorations.
