Special thanks to Eilian Williams for facilitating this event & Vardan Levoni Tadevosyan (Historian and Artist) for putting together
the content.

This exhibition shows clearly shows that the genocide did not end in 1915 and the "will" to eliminate the Armenians from history
is present to this day.

Not only have Armenian monuments been desecrated and destroyed in our traditional home land but also throughout Europe
including Wales.
.
It is vital that the UK does demean the events of 1915 and condemn them as genocide. It is also vital that the genocide of 1915
is remembered otherwise we will all be guilty of perpetuating the destruction of a culture.

We hope this exhibition can be repeated in other cities within the UK including London.
