Here I Also Saw My Family's History: Nobel Laureate's Entry in the Genocide Museum's Guest Book

On June 16, Armenian-born scientist, Nobel laureate in the field of health and physiology, Professor Artem Patapoutian visited the Armenian Genocide Memorial. This was reported by the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute.

The guest was welcomed by Editta Gzoyan, deputy director for scientific work at the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute, who presented the history of the memorial's establishment. She also recounted the story of three cross-stones located in the Tsitsernakaberd area, dedicated to the memory of Armenians who perished during the ethnic cleansing perpetrated against the Armenian population in Azerbaijan at the end of the last century.

Artem Patapoutian laid a wreath at the monument commemorating the victims of the Armenian Genocide, after which his accompanying group placed flowers near the eternal flame and observed a minute of silence to honor the innocent victims of the Genocide.

Following this, the attendees, accompanied by Editta Gzoyan, toured the Armenian Genocide Museum, familiarizing themselves with the permanent and temporary exhibitions. Afterwards, Artem Patapoutian made an entry in the Book of Honorable Guests, noting that he also saw his family's history here, which had been subjected to displacement during the Genocide years.

In gratitude for the visit, Editta Gzoyan presented the Armenian scientist with a recently published book titled 'The Rescue House of Aleppo: 1464 Testimonies of Survivors of the Armenian Genocide,' edited by her and released by the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute.

At the conclusion of the visit, Artem Patapoutian planted a silver fir in the Memory Park.
