The memorial has become a place of pilgrimage for all Armenians. Hundreds of thousands of Armenians and foreigners flock here every year on April 24 to pay their respects to the victims of the 1915 Armenian Genocide committed by the Turkish government in the Ottoman Empire. Many people visit the Tsitsernakaberd monument and lay flowers at the eternal fire. The three-monument monument covers an area of ​​4,500 square meters. On the left side there is a 100-meter-long memorial. In the center is the Temple of Eternity with a diameter of 30 m, with 12 giant basalt pillars bent towards the center. Visitors to the temple hall are carried to the eternal torch by the unusually high stairs descending from the platform, which seem to force them to bow before the memory of the victims of the Genocide. The 40-meter-high "Reviving Armenia" monument rises a little far, symbolizing the idea of ​​the rebirth of the Armenian people. A complex has been built in the square paved with basalt, the dominant volume of its spatial composition being the Memorial Hall and the Renaissance Monument.

As the name suggests, the museum is devoted to the Armenian Genocide of 1915 by the Ottoman government, who exterminated 1.5 million Armenians during and after World War I in two phases. The museum in Yerevan is a sobering walk back through history, where visitors can learn about the pre-genocide era, see the heart-wrenching interviews, observe the reports, and watch films that testify to the emotional distress of the survivors.
