On September 17 the Delegation led by Zdeněk Škromach, Vice President of the Senate of the Czech Republic being on an official visit in Yerevan attended the Armenian Genocide Memorial Complex of Tsitsernakaberd accompanied by the RA NA Deputy Speaker Eduard Sharmazanov.

The Czech parliamentarians laid a wreath at the 1915 Genocide Monument, put flowers at the eternal fire, honoured bowing in silence the memory of the holy martyrs.

In the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute the members of the delegation got acquainted with the documents and exhibits telling about the Armenian great tragedy and left a note in the Memory Book.

Zdeněk Škromach, Vice President of the Senate of the Czech Republic, has noted that the genocide perpetrated towards the Armenians by its nature resembles enough the Holocaust which has also been acknowledged in the Czech Republic.

“We should look at the reality with open eyes,” said Zdeněk Škromach and added that especially today we should learn lessons from our history, as the big stream of the refugees to Europe from different countries is a consequence of conflicts and wars.
