YEREVAN, 21 APRIL, ARMENPRESS. The Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute is opening its doors with an updated and enriched exhibition ahead of the 100^th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. The official opening ceremony of the new exhibition was held on April 21. During a press conference, Director of the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute Hayk Demoyan informed that the museum’s collection includes more than 90,000 materials, making it the world’s largest collection of materials devoted to the Armenian Genocide.

According to him, the new exhibition is more for foreigners who won’t be able to call into question the fact that the Armenian Genocide was planned.

Hayk Demoyan also informed that the representatives of 20 media outlets, including Turkish media outlets will have the opportunity to view the new exhibition on April 23. “The museum will showcase new and updated materials not as a exhibition presenting the remembrance of the Armenian people and Armenia, but also the history of Turkey and the Turks. Thus, this museum will also serve as a platform for young Turks to come and confront their past,” Hayk Demoyan said.

He also informed that the museum would be open to visitors on April 25 and that it would only be open for representatives of foreign delegations and media outlets until then. According to him, the area has been expanded 2.5 times and will include 12 galleries instead of the previous 3. There will also be 50 titles.
