STEPANAKERT (Armenpress)—The events dedicated to the 100th anniversary of Armenian Genocide in Arstakh are not limited to commemorations. Events, conferences, cultural and political meetings are to be held throughout the year. In an interview with Armenpress, Artsakh’s Presdential Spokesman David Babayan said that in mid-April the opening ceremony of a bell tower monument, which is dedicated to the victims of Armenian Genocide, will take place in Stepanakert.

“The monument is a unique structure and will become the most important memorial which is dedicated to the centenary of Armenian Genocide. The relics brought from Deir ez-Zor will be buried in the foundation of the bell tower, which have been given to us by the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute. The bell tower will become a place where people of Artsakh will come and will pay their respects,” David Babayan said.
