Vice President of India Mohammad Hamid Ansari, who is on a three-day official visit in Armenia, on 25 April visited Tsitsernakaberd Armenian Genocide Memorial Complex, where he paid tribute to the memory of the Armenian Genocide victims and laid a wreath at the Eternal Flame of the Memorial.

India’s Vice President was accompanied by Armenian Minister of Foreign Affairs Edward Nalbandian.

On his way to the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute Mohammad Hamid Ansari noticed a little boy visiting the Genocide Memorial. He took the boy in the hand and turned to FM Nalbandian saying: “This is the spirit of life”.

“This Memorial stands as a solemn testimony to the Armenians who suffered grave violence. It is only through the values of non-violence, tolerance and acceptance that we can hope to build a peaceful and harmonious future,” Ansari wrote.

The visit of India’s Vice President to Tsitsernakaberd was completed by tree planting in the Memorial Park.
