In recent years, there has been a notable increase, particularly among foreign researchers, in the study of the Armenian Genocide, and the topic remains relevant today. This was stated by Gohar Khanumyan, a fund keeper at the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute.
According to her, many visitors are researchers from the United States, European countries, sometimes also from Australia, and even from Turkey. The archive is open to all researchers.
“We do not differentiate based on the researcher’s country of citizenship. This is prohibited from a scientific, ethical, and legal standpoint,” she said.
If a researcher wishes to conduct a study, their application may be rejected in three cases: when the subject of the study is under restoration, when it is being studied by another researcher, and when it is on display. In all other cases, there is no right to deny a researcher access to the material for study.
