The three links above will hopefully help me in researching Armenian Genocide Monuments. The first link is the home page of the The Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute. Their mission statement is, "The Armenian Genocide Museum & Institute (AGMI) is a non-profit organization based in Yerevan, Republic of Armenia. The mission of the Museum-Institute is the academic and scientific study, analysis of the problems as well as exhibition of the textual and visual documentation related to the first Genocide of the 20th century." Another piece of information I learned from this site was that the Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day is April 24. The second site is the most important because it features Armenian Genocide Monuments from all over the world. Countries included on this site consist of Chile, Canada, Bulgaria, Germany, U.S., U.K., Syria, Greece, Venezuela, etc. So far my favorite monument is located in Glendale, California. It is called Memorial Khachkar (cross-stone) and it is a beautiful carved rock that has the date 1915 inscribed in it. The final link is the wikapedia page of Tsitsernakaberd which is a Genocide Memorial located in Yerevan, Armenia. This memorial is special in it's own way because I have never seen anything like it. The two following links describe to other Genocide Monuments one located in France the other in California.
The picture to the right is located New York on the Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day.
The picture to the right is located in Glendale, California and it too is commemorating the horrible genocide that took place in Armenia in 1915.
Finally I found this other blog written by Goran Sadjadi called Recogonizing and Remebring the Armenian Genocide. I find his information to be valid and his opinion to be quite interesting. I plan on contacting him and talking to him about his beliefs on the Armenian Genocide. http://zaneti.blogspot.com/2007/04/recognizing-and-remembering-armenian.html
