On November 2, the Co-Chair of the Committee on Cooperation between the RF Federal Assembly and the RA National Assembly, the member of the Federal Council of Russia Nikolai Ryzhkov and the members of the Committee accompanied by the Co-Chair of the Committee on the Armenian-Russian Inter-Parliamentary Cooperation Artashes Geghamyan and the RA NA former deputy Volodya Badalyan visited Tsitsernakaberd Memorial Complex, official page of the RA National Assembly reports.

Nikolai Ryzhkov and the Russian parliamentarians laid flowers at the eternal fire and in silence honoured the memory of Holy Martyrs.

The Armenian people’s great friend Nikolai Ryzhkov noted that he had known about the Armenian Genocide perpetrated in the Ottoman Empire in 1915 since his school years.

He has also noted that one thing is to hear and read, another thing is to be in Tsitsernakaberd.

"Every delegation arriving in Armenia should come and bow in this sanctuary of the Armenian people," Nikolai Ryzhkov said.
