On April 24, Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan, along with President Vahagn Khachaturyan, President of the National Assembly Alen Simonyan, and other senior leaders, visited the Tsitsernakaberd memorial complex to honor the memory of the 1.5 million victims of the Genocide. During the visit, Pashinyan laid a wreath and placed flowers at the eternal flame dedicated to those who perished during the Armenian Genocide.

Prime Minister Pashinyan delivered a special statement urging his fellow citizens to transcend the anguish of the massacres that occurred in the Ottoman Empire at the start of the twentieth century and to cease the 'sigh of longing for the lost homeland.'

He suggested that the enduring sorrow over the Armenian Genocide might hinder the nation's ability to accurately interpret contemporary international challenges and events affecting Armenia, noting, "Perhaps this is the reason that we have to experience new shocks by turning the wounds of the Armenian Genocide into a heritage and tradition."
