Another Michael Jennings photo, this time taken in January of this year, and posted on Facebook by him yesterday:
I investigated, and found my way to this:
Tsitsernakaberd Memorial Complex in Yerevan is dedicated to the memory of the 1.5 million Armenians who perished in the first genocide of the 20th century, at the hands of the Turkish government. Completed in 1967, the Genocide Monument has since become a pilgrimage site and an integral part of Yerevan’s architecture. Set high on a hill, dominating the landscape, it is in perfect harmony with its surroundings. The austere outlines convey the spirit of the nation that survived a ruthless campaign of extermination.
Very impressive. Never seen or heard about this before.
Also, at the end of the same piece of writing, this:
Since 1967, every year on April 24 thousands of people have visited Tsitsernakaberd Memorial Complex, with numbers increasing every year.
Hence Michael posting this yesterday. Blog and learn. And, as Michael says, remember.
