The Russian Parliamentarians laid flowers at the eternal fire perpetuating the memory of the Armenian Genocide victims.
They were also at the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute, got acquainted with the exhibits documenting genocide and made a note in the Memory Book of Honorable Guests.
Tatyana Kusaiko has noted that she completely agrees with the President of her country Vladimir Putin that he considers the assassination of Armenians as a personal pain of Russia: “The visit to the Museum has left a heavy impression on me, and at this very moment I am speaking very excitedly. I understood how important friendship and peace are for the whole the world to prevent such crime against the humanity from not to be repeated. What happened to Armenians is a very hard lesson which we should overcome and take lessons”.
The deputies of the State Duma of the Russian Federation visited Yerevan Municipality, participating in the “Endangered Heritage: Artsakh” exhibition opening ceremony.
