Members of the delegation placed flowers near the eternal fire and observed a minute of silence in memory of the canonized martyrs of the Armenian Genocide. The guests visited the Memory Park, where they watered the silver fir trees planted by Greek delegations.
 
They also toured the Armenian Genocide Museum, where they got acquainted with the permanent and temporary exhibitions. At the end of the visit they left noted in the memorial book of honored guests.
