ArmInfo.  The Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute (AGMI) acquired 50,000 archival materials in 2024-2025, which significantly expanded its scientific activities in the field of studying the Armenian Genocide. This was announced at a press conference in Yerevan on April 21 by AGMI Director Edita Gzoyan, in connection with preparations for the 110th anniversary of  the Armenian Genocide.

Gzoyan noted that a unique temporary exhibition dedicated to the  anniversary of the tragic events will be opened on April 24.  According to her, the presented material will differ from what was  previously exhibited, since the exhibition will include the memories  of people who documented these crimes at the time. "Despite the lack  of a term at the time, everyone who faced the tragedy of the Armenian  people claims that what happened was a crime," the director of the  Museum-Institute emphasized.

In addition, Gzoyan reported that on April 24, exhibitions will open  simultaneously in three Russian cities - Moscow, Rostov-on-Don and  St. Petersburg, and will also be held in the United States, Canada  and Brazil.  The museum director also added that one of them,  dedicated to women, is already operating in Arizona. 

"Unlike previous years, exhibitions will also be presented in Gyumri  and Abovyan. In Abovyan, on April 29, an exhibition entitled "The  Story of One Canvas" will be held, which highlights the experience of  women during the genocide. And on April 30, the official opening of  the exhibition "Armenian Woman - Victim of Genocide and Hero" will  take place. An exhibition was also held in Croatia, which was mainly  organized online," Gzoyan added. Speaking about holding exhibitions  abroad, she noted that nothing extraordinary was presented there,  posters based on photographs from those times and information about  the events were used. Gzoyan also drew attention to the fact that  information about the Armenian Genocide is still limited in the  international community. As proof of her words, she reported that  tourists visiting the Armenian Museum-Institute are surprised that  the events of World War I are studied in schools, but there is not a  single mention of the Armenian Genocide. 

"That is why we raise the importance of education on this issue," she  noted. Touching on the achievements of the museum, Gzoyan spoke about  an important donation - the handwritten diaries of Soghomon  Tehlirian, received in April last year. According to her, this was  the beginning of a series of other donations, including about 59  original photographs of the defense of Mount Musa Dagh and documents  on how Armenians were saved with the help of the French side. "The  carpet woven in the shelter in the city of Gazir in the 1920s is of  particular importance. It was carefully preserved by our genocide  scholar Vahram Shemasyan. We also received a large volume of Ottoman  documents, title deeds and photographs," the director emphasized.

In addition, as Gzoyan noted, the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute  has published two scientific journals in Armenian and English, which  are open to the public and serve as a platform for raising awareness  of the history of the Armenian Genocide. "Our research is read by  students and teachers, and now it is also published in English. Last  year, we achieved good results - we published about 10 English-  language publications, which significantly increases our visibility  in the scientific world," Gzoyan summarized.

On April 24, the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute will be open from  8:00 to 20:00.
