What People Say

"The Zoryan Institute has done the Armenian nation, whether at home or in the Diaspora, a great service through the GHRUP program. They have also provided Canada and Canadians with a world class annual event that is unique and extremely valuable as we Canadians westle with the issues of genocide and human rights in the post cold war and post 9/11 world. "

by: Major Brent Beardsley, Royal Military College of Canada

" The Zoryan Institute was founded at a time when the Diaspora recognized it needed tools by which to begin to document, study and understand itself. From its extensive oral history and genocide documentation work to it ground breaking Diaspora Studies, the Zoryan Institute was a pioneer. "

by: Vartan Oskanian, former Foreign Affairs Minister- Republic of Armenia

" The Zoryan Institute and its division the International Institute for Genocide & Human Rights Studies has taken up the challenge and created a remarkable, innovative, multi-disciplinary course, the Genocide & Human Rights University Program. The seminary provides an intensive learning experience for students from around the world, and as a faculty participant for three summers, it has been an exciting opportunity to engage and debate key issues in genocide and human rights directly with students and other faculty."
