Since this morning, Yerevan City Hall employees have been busy cleaning the traces of barbarism on the monument dedicated to the memory of the Holocaust victims. As reported earlier, a red swastika and the words “Death to Jews” (in Armenian) were spray-painted on the memorial.
An Epress.am correspondent on the ground earlier today spoke with a city employee on the scene, who did not wish to be named. He said they found out about the incident at night, through ordinary citizens.
The swastika has already been removed and the city hall employee is attempted to clean the remains of the paint which covers the words “To live and not to forget: In the memory of the Armenian and Jewish peoples’ Genocide [Yeghern]” written in Armenian and in Hebrew on the monument.
