April 24, Genocide Memorial in Yerevan, Armenia
Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute's goal is to document and accurately illustrate all materials related to the Armenian Genocide (1915-1922). While demonstrating these facts we encourage and support academic & scientific dialogue on the matter based on democratic principles and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. As a scientific organization, we are apolitical; our aspirations are moral and humanitarian in nature.
The Museum functions as a source of understanding and acknowledgement of this monumental tragedy, acknowledging that it is still a taboo subject in Turkey with the intent that Turkey will come to terms with its own history.
We stand in solidarity for all genocide victims and assert that in order to prevent further genocides in the world, our responsibility in action is crucial for furthering understanding as well as condemnation of what happened to the Armenian people in the beginning of the 20th century.

Held at USC, on Sunday, April 9 and Monday, April 10, 2017, the conference brings together notable names in media, government, academia and the arts to explore regionalisms of Armenia, demographic changes, transitions in social and economic policy, the development of formal and informal political and social institutions, bottom-up social change and civil society formation. Speakers looked at the transition from the Soviet sphere to other foreign and regional alliances, and the evolution of Armenia’s bilateral relations with its immediate neighbors and other major powers. The conference continues in Yerevan, Armenia on May 23-24, 2017.
Armenian Genocide Memorial Dedicated at Sunset Park
An Armenian Genocide Memorial Monument was dedicated at Clark County’s Sunset Park, the largest and most popular in the Las Vegas Valley. The monument project is the initiative of the Armenian-American Cultural Society (AACS) of Las Vegas, with the participation of all Las Vegas Armenian churches and organizations and approval of the Clark County Commission. The monument pays tribute to the estimated 1.5 million Armenians who were killed by the Ottoman Turks. His Eminence Archbishop Hovnan Derderian, Primate of the Western Diocese and His Eminence Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian, Prelate of the Western Prelacy, officials from the Republic of Armenia and Republic of Lebanon, Clark County Commissioner Mary Beth Scow, whose district includes the park, County Commissioner Chris Giunchigliani, Nevada Congressional representatives, the Nevada consular corps and others participated. Master of Ceremonies was Lenna Hovanessian, J.D. The County Commission approved an agreement allowing for the placement of the memorial at the park in January 2015 on the condition that AACS build and maintain it. AACS is the first Armenian-American organization established in Nevada, founded in 1978 and incorporated in 1981 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. It was dedicated on Nov. 14, 2015. Sunset Park is the crown jewel in Clark County's park system, is centrally located at 2601 East Sunset Road and has served the entire Las Vegas Valley since 1967. Phased expansions have developed 185 of its 323 total acres, making Sunset the largest park in the Las Vegas Valley and the County system. The most recent expansion added new playgrounds, a splash pad, walking trails, shaded picnic areas, and open turf in the heart of the park. Reservation facilities have been expanded to offer bicycle rentals, fishing and sports equipment. Sunset has repeatedly won awards such as the Readers’ Choice for the Best Park in the Las Vegas Review-Journal’s Best of Las Vegas poll. This oasis in the desert offers something for everyone including tennis, volleyball and basketball courts, softball fields, disc golf course, a dog park, walking and jogging trails, a lake – fish included – and plenty of open space. Group and individual shaded picnic areas attract families and organizations throughout the year. Sunset Park hosts numerous special events, including a Clark County signature event, the Age of Chivalry Renaissance Festival, and Sunset Park’d.

The last survivor of the Armenian Genocide - In Turkey
Bram searches for the last survivor of the Armenian Genocide. The Armenian genocide is still a very taboo topic for some, no matter where they are from. It seems that everyone has a story about the Armenian genocide, and not only in Turkey. Bram talks about the Armenian genocide with Turks, Armenians and Kurds. On his quest to find the last survivor of the Armenian genocide, it is striking how almost everyone is ready to try to make the best out of this terrible event in history.
The borders are opened with the Arab world. But the border with the neighboring Christian Armenia remains closed . A trip to the snowy eastern Turkey, where the inhabitants are still trapped in the unspeakable history from 1915, when hundreds of thousands of Christian Armenians, but also Turkish Muslims were murdered and driven out. The closed border changed the town of Kars into a cul-de-sac: a forgotten area. But the debate has moved on, and the farther Bram goes along the border with Armenia, the more the stories about the past come loose. So Bram goes in search of the last eyewitness, an Armenian man of more than a hundred years old who survived 1915 and still lives among the Turks, on top of a mountain.
Original title: The last Armenian
In this seven-part series Bram Vermeulen travels through Turkey - From Istanbul to the sparsely populated mountains in the east; from the closed borders of Armenia to the open southern borders shared with neighboring Arab countries - observing the rapid changes in a country that has a renewed fresh confidence.
In Turkey, was awarded the Special Award Discourse and Politics at the Erasmus EuroMedia Awards 2011 in Vienna.

Armenia Travel | Land of Noah | The Unknown Genocide
Armenia Travel | Land of Noah | The Unknown Genocide
Welcome to my channel and this week’s video is about Armenia Travel, also known as the Land of Noah and the history of The Unknown Genocide.
Few nations have histories as ancient, complex and laced with tragedy as Armenia (ՀԱՅԱՍՏԱՆ). And even fewer have a culture that is as rich and resilient. This is a destination where you will be intrigued by history, awed by monuments, amazed by the landscape and charmed by down-to-earth locals. It's not an easy place to explore – roads are rough, transport is often hard to navigate and those who don't speak Armenian or Russian may find communication difficult – but travelling here is as rewarding as it is revelatory.
The simply extraordinary collection of medieval monasteries scattered across the country is the number-one attraction, closely followed by a dramatically beautiful landscape that is perfectly suited to hiking and other outdoor activities. And then there's the unexpected delight of Yerevan – one of the region's most exuberant and endearing cities. Put together, they offer an enticing and tremendously enjoyable travel experience.
I had no idea about the horrible Genocide that Armenia had of 1922 until I visited the country. It is something that no one talks about. On a more positive note - Armenia has the prettiest monasteries in the world and driving throughout the country is so fun. Lastly, Armenians are awesome - come visit Armenia to find this all out for yourself.
In this Armenia Travel Vlog 2019, I will explain you about How to Travel to Armenia? Tips for Armenia travel budget, the things to know before visit Armenia, Things to do in Armenia and must see in Armenia .This is Armenia Travel reviews for your future travel planning.

Armenia:
Armenia (/ɑːrˈmiːniə/ (About this soundlisten);[14] Armenian: Հայաստան, romanized: Hayastan, IPA: [hɑjɑsˈtɑn]), officially the Republic of Armenia (Armenian: Հայաստանի Հանրապետություն, romanized: Hayastani Hanrapetut'yun, IPA: [hɑjɑstɑˈni hɑnɾɑpɛtutʰˈjun]), is a country in the South Caucasus region of Eurasia.
Armenia is a unitary, multi-party, democratic nation-state with an ancient cultural heritage. Urartu was established in 860 BC and by the 6th century BC it was replaced by the Satrapy of Armenia.
Armenia recognises the Armenian Apostolic Church, the world's oldest national church, as the country's primary religious establishment. The unique Armenian alphabet was invented by Mesrop Mashtots in 405 AD.
Armenia is a member of the Eurasian Economic Union, the Council of Europe and the Collective Security Treaty Organization. Armenia supports the de facto independent Artsakh, which was proclaimed in 1991.

I''ve given this a lot of thought and thought about it in personal terms especially because we have those who still are around in this planet, who say that the Holocaust involving the Jews, committed by the Nazis did not occur. We hear it every day from the rantings of a mad man in Iran and some people laugh at it and some people are confused by it and some people are inspired by it and some people say: oh it''s only words. And so many others say if you don''t confront these words then it''s going to happen again, that is my concern.

13. SOUNDBITE (English) Congressman Dan Burton, Republican from Indiana:
This isn''t gonna help the understanding between the United States and Turkey. As a matter of fact, the last time we went into this I think the Turkish Ambassador went home for some time. And if we pass this resolution I think it''s going to jeopardise the relations we have with Turkey.

We proposed to make a concrete stele, a concrete slab that is similar to Peter Eisenman memorial on the other side of the street here (the Holocaust Memorial), which has 2,711 slabs. We wanted to make a story that connects both the homosexual victims and the Jewish victims in a similar way, but of course, we are also telling a different story.

7. SOUNDBITE: (English) Michael Elmgreen, memorial designer:
For us it was quite important to have a direct imagery of a love scene, a passionate scene, an emotional scene between two same sex persons. Because, that is the main problem in homophobia. Like, you can get whatever rights, you can get acceptance on an abstract level, but they don't want to look at us.

STORYLINE:
A memorial dedicated to homosexual victims of the Nazi regime will be unveiled in Berlin on Tuesday, located in Tiergarten Park, across from the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe.
The 932-thousand US dollar memorial, designed by Danish-born artist Michael Elmgreen and Scandinavian artist Ingar Dragset, features a gray concrete slab with a window allowing visitors to view a film inside of same-sex couples kissing.
Speaking to AP Television on Monday, about the design concept for the memorial, Dragset said, we wanted to make a story that connects both the homosexual victims and the Jewish victims in a similar way, but of course, we are also telling a different story.
For us it was quite important to have a direct imagery of a love scene, a passionate scene, an emotional scene between two same sex persons, Elmgreen added.
Videos on the screen will be changed every two years, and Elmgreen hopes the changes will fuel further debates on the definition of gay people and their position in today's society.
Nazi Germany declared homosexuality an aberration that threatened the German race and convicted around 50-thousand homosexuals as criminals.
An estimated 10-15 thousand homosexuals, mostly men, were deported to concentration camps, where few survived.
At Berlin's Schwules Museum, curator Karl Heinz Steiner explained, from 1935 onwards any intentions towards sexual relations between same sex people were declared criminal. That initiated a wave of persecution. That affected many people, and one could get anybody one did not like imprisoned by tipping him off (to the authorities).
After the war, the victims found no official acknowledgement as both German states retained legal paragraphs criminalising homosexuality.
Former East Germany abolished it's law in the late eighties, the Western part only after re-unification in 1994.

Egyptian Cleric Sheikh Sharif Abadi: The Armenian Genocide Is a Lie Fabricated by the British
Egyptian cleric Sheikh Sharif Abadi said that throughout history, the Muslims never fought peoples, never conquered in order to collect the jizya poll tax, never forced people to convert to Islam, and never perpetrated a racial massacre. According to Sheikh Abadi, the Armenian massacre was a lie fabricated by the British in order to topple the Ottoman Caliphate. He further said that when the Jews were banished from England, they came to the Ottoman Empire. If we really wanted to kill them all, we would have done it then, he said. The interview with Sheikh Abadi aired on May 28 on the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood Watan TV channel, which broadcasts from Turkey.
