| The renovated Genocide Memorial Complex in Tsitsernakaberd, Yerevan. |
Yesterday, on April 18, 2026, the PM Nikol Pashinyan’s office reported that the PM and the Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sport Zhanna Andreasyan, visited the Armenian Genocide Memorial Complex and inspected the completed renovation. The renovation work had begun in December 2024 and had cost the Armenian taxpayers over 2.5 million USD. The monument at the Tsitsernakaberd is now ready for the observation of the April 24 Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day (Եղեռնի զոհերի հիշատակի օր), which is a non-working legal holiday.
The construction of the Tsitsernakaberd memorial complex began in 1965 to mark the 50th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, and was completed in November 1967.
It was reported that for the construction of the Tsitsernakaberd genocide memorial, 13 expert masons were employed. All of them were repatriates and all of them were from Kessab.
Attached are two snapshots of the Kessabtsi expert masons working at the Tsitsernakaberd Genocide Memorial Complex. The snapshots are courtesy Mari Abelyan. Her father was one of the expert masons.
