If the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin participated in the liturgy at Aghtamar’s Holy Cross Armenian Church, the there would’ve been an opportunity to have a requiem commemorating the victims of the Armenian Genocide, said Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute Director Hayk Demoyan at a press conference today.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Turkey’s not that country where serious progress will take place in the democratic process with a wave of a magic wand,” he said.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Demoyan said that the time is right for Armenia to come forth with a proposal: to register the historic capital of Ani in the list of UNESCO historical and cultural heritage monuments, since it’s a historic heritage site not only for Armenia, but also for the whole word.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
