President Michel Aoun of the Republic of Lebanon visited the Tsitsernakaberd memorial today. He laid a wreath at the memorial to Armenian Genocide victims and paid tribute to their memory with a moment of silence.
Mr. Aoun also visited the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute, where he was given a medal.
“What I have seen in this museum, recounting the history of the Armenian people and the brutal massacre, prompts me to emphasize that justice needs to be achieved,” Aoun said.
The President of Lebanon planted a fir tree in the Memory Alley.
