PanARMENIAN.Net - Armin Wegner and the Armenian Genocide exhibition, organized by the Russian-Armenian Commonwealth and Directorate of the Presidential Programs of the Russian Fund of Culture will open in Moscow May 31, reported the Yerkramas newspaper of Armenians of Russia. As Russian-Armenian Commonwealth Chairman Yrui Navoyan stated, the exposition is arranged on the basis of materials of a book of Italian author Giovanni Guaita of the same name. The exhibition presents unique materials from the personal archive of one of the main witnesses of the Armenian Genocide, German officer Armin Wegner. In spite of the strict prohibition of the Turkish and German authorities, he managed to penetrate into the Armenian death camps and gather unique photo materials, evidence proving the monstrous crime committed by Turkey against the Armenian population. The materials presented at the exhibition provide a notion of the horrible pages of the human history. Russian and Armenian political and public figures will participate in the opening of the exhibition.
