genocide-memorial

Every human regardless nationality should visit and know the historical reality of Armenian genocide by turkish ottoman empire!!!!!

On top of a hill overlooking the city surrounded by mountains. Every foreign head of state or VIP has planted a tree there.

This is one and only place that you can be connected to your ancestors. If you go there do not forget to take some flowers with you!

Nothing to describe, nothing to tell you to convince you to go. This is something you have to feel by yourself. Even better on April 24th...

The museum will open with the 100-year celebration of the Genocide (in April 2015). The memorial is an intriguing architectural edifice.

Iconic place for armenians and worth a visit to know their side of the history. Take some time to stop in the garden where many "signed" pinetrees have been planted by famous international politicians.

Even though much of the area around this monument was closed due to construction, this is still a very moving memorial. Interesting wandering among the 'garden' adjacent, to read the tributes of those who have planted trees in commemoration of the genocide victims.

This is a moving memorial, although it is being renovated at present to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the genocide next year. However, at the site of the everlasting flame, it is still calm and commemorative, allowing Armenians to hold their loved ones in their hearts and non-Armenians to feel some of their pain. The museum could do with more artifacts. I think these are also part of the renovations at present.

Once inside the Circle you can not be indifferent ! One feels the intensity the sorrow the pain for the human losses by inhumane methods and practices.Why ? What have they done to deserve that ?

The museum is closed for renovations, but I will absolutely recommend to go and see the Genocide-Memorial. We were there at the same time as a teacher with her class of primary students and some of their mothers, and that was very moving to see how the teacher explained the story and when they all sang the national anthem. It was also interesting to see the wall where it was written names of persons that had given help to Armenians like Fridtjof Nansen etc.

Gives you a better understanding what Armenians have endured in the past and fantastic views of the city of Yeravan

With construction all around we were pleased we were able to enter the memorial and walk the grounds. While inside there was a group of school children with parents gathered around the eternal flame while a teacher was explaining the memorial. We were glad to know that the next generation will never forget the atrocities inflicted upon their fore bearers.

I bet the memorial and museum are great - just that they are closed for renoviation as the centenary will be in 2015, it's a shame I couldn't see it but I guess, I just have to return one day!

This is a place which needs to be visited by every visitor to Armenia. It is a very dramatic part of Armenian history which needs to be known.

A dive to the past of the Armenian Genocide. Different from the others we know, this genocide was complete: people, culture and top minders. You must go and see and experience the energy of this place.
