will be raised in Yerevan.
Head of the Jewish community in Armenia Rita Varzhapetyan told
`Armenpress’ that the opening of the monument will take place October

Margaryan.
The Jewish community of Armenia includes about 250 families, which

community. According to head of the community Rita Varzhapetyan, at
the initiative of the community special seminars will be held in
Armenian schools for teachers instructing Common History, following
which they will teach the students about the Holocaust of Jews
perpetrated by Fascist Germany during World War II. `The growing
generation must know about these crimes against Armenians, Jews and
other nations,’ said Rita Varzhapetyan.
