Minister of Education, Science, Culture, and Sport Zhanna Andreasyan paid another visit to the Armenian Genocide Memorial and Museum-Institute to examine the ongoing renovation process. She was accompanied by ministry secretary general Hasmik Hakobyan.
Andreasyan was briefed on existing problems and emphasized the importance of involving professionals to ensure proper restoration and maintenance of the memorial complex. She underlined that specialists must work consistently to guarantee both high-quality results and compliance with the established schedule.
The minister conducted a similar visit on September 16, when contractors presented updates on pillar renovation, carried out in line with approved project solutions.
Earlier, historian Hayk Demoyan argued that the renovation had caused irreversible damage to the memorial. Authorities cited drainage issues as the main reason for the works, explaining that improper irrigation risked water infiltration into the structure. Demoyan, however, claimed this did not require dismantling the exterior cladding.
