The building of the memorial of the Armenian Genocide, dedicated to the 95th anniversary of the Genocide, begins, on the initiative of "Ararat", the Union of Armenians in Israel, and according to the agreement with the Municipality of Petach Tikva. Numerous countries have recognized the Armenian Genocide of 1915, memorials dedicated to the victims of the Great Genocide soar in different corners of the world, and building a memorial in the sacred country, in Israel, is not only symbolic, but also one more step toward restoring the historical justice.

For carrying out the sacred mission of creating a memorial, dedicated to the victims of the Genocide in 1915, we expect your financial assistance, we ask you all for moral and material support, through which you will be recognized official patrons of the memorial and will have your contribution in the sacred work of immortalizing the memory of the victims of the Genocide.
