Karen Gazaryan, standing with his wife, was one of thousands who visited the Genocide Museum today.
“It is a colossal pain to visit the museum, it pierces my heart. It is a pain that remains with you all your life, remembering how my grandfather's family was killed by the Turks, how my grandfather [survived in an orphanage].”
“It's a painful topic for every Armenian. I wish everyone could relive the pain that we are reliving right now and recognize the Genocide. I was a volunteer, handing out flowers to visitors to Yerevan, and maybe it's very little, but it means something that I am part of it, reliving this pain together with my nation. I want the Genocide to be accepted. We are a little part of history, and you can't just brush away that page of world history.”
