YEREVAN. – during his visit to the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute
(AGMI), European Council President Herman Van Rompuy did not sign the
Museum-Institute’s guestbook, AGMI Director Hayk Demoyan told Armenian
News-NEWS.am.
And in response to the query as to the reason for this, Demoyan said
this was an internal agreement, and therefore Demoyan had not asked
Van Rompuy to sign the guestbook.
`Perhaps they wanted it this way. It is not obligatory to also sign
[the guestbook] when visiting the Museum. But the guest was very
impressed and he said both the Museum and the visit to the [Genocide]
Memorial are very sentimental, emotion-causing, and impressive,’ added
Hayk Demoyan.
As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, the `Armenia in Europe’
Conference kicked off Wednesday in Armenia’s capital, Yerevan. And the
event brings together European Council President Herman Van Rompuy,
Armenian National Assembly and Cabinet members, representatives from
Armenian state agencies, NGOs, academia and research institutions,
foreign embassy and international organization personnel, and members
of the media
