YEREVAN — Armenian Prime Min- ister Nikol Pashinyan, accompanied by Minister of Education, Science, Cul- ture and Sports Zhanna Andreasyan, visited the Armenian Genocide Memo- rial Complex to review completed and ongoing renovation and improvement works. The project, launched in December 2024, has a total cost of 973.7 million drams. Officials noted that the first phase of landscaping and restoration has been completed on schedule, in full compliance with professional conser- vation standards. Renovation works have been car- ried out on the central, western, and eastern sections, as well as on the columns of the Eternal Flame monu- ment. A new drainage system has been installed, and waterproofing measures have been implemented for both the columns and the memorial wall foun- dations. The deteriorated waterproofing layers were removed, and the damaged concrete structures of the columns were reinforced and sealed using mod- ern materials. Stone slabs on the rear and side façades were replaced, and new paving was installed around the columns. A new pedestrian walkway has been constructed along the memorial wall, while landscaping improvements and irrigation system upgrades have also been completed. In parallel, work has already been completed on the museum-institute’s western wing, including the removal of existing roofing layers, dismantling of damaged basalt slabs, installation of waterproofing, cladding of parapets with basalt, and placement of basalt el- ements. On April 24, the Armenian Geno- cide Remembrance Day, the memo- rial complex will be open to all visi- tors. The museum has remained open throughout the entire renovation pe- riod.
