I was doing the mistake to miss this museum, it's a must see. The architecture is gorgeous and if you read the step you can have a precise idea about the events and what happened. It avoid the witnesses of victimis and I like this, it's something I don't like in this kind of museums. There is a but. Of course the story telling is the view of the country victim, and there's no way it could be different, but the Armenians are represented always as 100% good and Turks as 100% evil. I suppose that in wars there are some "greys areas", totally not represented here. And the story is represented as contrast between ethnicities, a point of view that in some way justify that (stupid, horrible) way to think about people, countries and communities. It's a missed opportunity to witness against every genocide and the cruelty of every murder, every war, every discrimination of persons depending from their ethnicity, religion, origin, genre, behaviour and wathever. In any case, a terrible story.

The Armenian Genocide memorial complex is Armenia's official memorial dedicated to the victims of the Armenian Genocide, built in 1967 on the hill of Tsitsernakaberd in Yerevan. Every year on 24 April, the Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, thousands of Armenians gather at the memorial to commemorate the victims of the genocide. The people who gather in Tsiternakaberd lay fresh flowers out of respect for all the people who died in the Armenian genocide. Over the years, from around the world, a wide range of politicians, artists, musician, athletes, and religious figures have visited the memorial. The Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute was opened in 1995.

I visited this museum and I was marveled by the exhibition. Except English, there is information in French as well. The entrance is free. Upon visiting Yerevan, one should certainly visit this museum to learn the history from Armenians' perspective. The memorial complex is pretty impressive. If the weather allows, you will have a clear view of Mt. Ararat from here. Additionally, there is an old guard named Mais here. He is very kind and helpful. If you speak a little Russian, it will he pretty fun to chat with him and learn some cool facts about the museum and history.

Най-тъжното място и същевременно задължително за посещение в Армения. Малцина знаят, че според легендата от дясната страна на река Раздан - на този хълм, от древни времена е имало крепост Астхигаперт ("Астхигска крепост"), наречена на името на богинята на любовта Астхиг. На най-високата й кула се настанили лястовици – пратеници на богинята Астхиг, които предавали нейните покани на избраните. Затова този хълм е наречен Дзидзернагаперт и сега е известен с това име. Разкопки доказват, че на тази територия действително се е намирала древната крепост "Дзидзернаги перт" ("Лястовича крепост "), датираща от X век пр.н.е. Днес Дзидзернагаперт е известен като мемориален комплекс в Ереван, посветен на жертвите на Арменския геноцид от 1915 г. Намира се на едноименния хълм на брега на р. Раздан, която протича през столицата. Според замисъла на авторите тя трябвало да стане „своеобразна меса в памет на невинните жертви и същевременно да бъде завет за оцелелите; тя трябва да бъде разбираема за всички, независимо от националност и религия; и накрая, трябва да се превърне в център, където да се документират и публикуват факти от историята на Арменския геноцид”. Мемориалният комплекс е издигнат през 1967 г, но отделни негови елементи се добавят до 90-те. Последната завършена сграда от комплекса е Музеят на геноцида, открит през 1995 г. в другия край на парка. Музеят е почти изцяло подземен, състои се от два етажа. Недалеч от музея има алея, където чужди държавници засаждат дървета в памет на жертвите на геноцида. Странно сред тях се открояват имената на двама президенти на държавата България, която ВСЕ ОЩЕ НЕ ГО Е НАРЕКЛА С ИМЕТО ГЕНОЦИД - Георги Първанов и Румен Радев.

it's a place worth and must see in your trip to Yerevan. You have to see for yourself and feel the mood! What can one say when one enters a Museum commemorating a colossal tragic ethnic cleansing of 2 million Armenians? I felt nauseated. I felt depressed. I felt numb. How can such butchery be possible? Visiting the Genocide Museum is a must before leaving. You will experience directly the courage and greatness and humanity and beauty of the Armenian people. Such an incredibile place: so poignant, peaceful and with an incredibile dignity!!

Armenian or not, you’ll get very emotional visiting the Genocide Memorial. You can’t but think of all the torture a nation went through. And the museum there cannot be put into words. It’s very sad seeing all the painful photos from the genocide and reading about the life of Armenians back then yet it is very beautifully portrayed and it definitely touches you. I believe all Armenians around the world should go and visit the Genocide Memorial and always be reminded of what a great nation Armenia was, is and will always be ❤️💙🧡
