Genocide Memorial

In Armenia in 1915 the Turks came into the country with the intent of killing all Armenian people. Millions were killed, straved, driven from their homes, and tortured. This memorial is in honor of those killed during this sad time. We happened to visit the memorial the day people come to the eternal flame and leaves flowers in memory of that time.

You do see a lot and learn a lot. It's like you are in big history class.

It's nice that so many people still show up to honor those who died.
