Armenia 🇦🇲 Day 4 of 4 day trip. Yerevan - Armenian Genocide Monument and Museum, 11 July 2026

In the morning, drive out of the city to Armenian Genocide Memorial Complex on Tsitsernakaberd Hill.

The Armenian Genocide Memorial, known as Tsitsernakaberd, is Armenia's official monument honoring the 1.5 million victims of the 1915 genocide. Located on a hill in Yerevan,  the complex features the Memorial  Column, a 44-meter spire symbolizing the rebirth of Armenians, twelve pylons representing lost provinces, and the Sanctuary of Eternity enclosing the eternal flame as well as a 100-meter Memorial Wall, and the underground Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute.

Many foreign dignitaries planted trees to acknowledge the existence of the Armenian Genocide.

Every year on April 24 (Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day), hundreds of thousands of people walk to the memorial to lay fresh flowers around the eternal flame.

Let not we forget.
