Iğdır Genocide Memorial and Museum

[2] French journalists Laure Marchand and Guillaume Perrier call the monument "the ultimate caricature of the Turkish government's policy of denying the 1915 genocide by rewriting history and transforming victims into guilty parties".

[3] Bilgin Ayata on Armenian Weekly criticized the memorial as "aggressive, nationalistic, and outright hostile".

[5] The construction for the memorial started on 1 August 1997 and it was dedicated on 5 October 1999 in Iğdır, Turkey.

Its height is 43.5 metres (143 ft), making it the tallest monument in Turkey.

[6] In an address at the monument's opening ceremony, Minister of State Ramazan Mirzaoğlu claimed that Armenians killed almost 80,000 people in Iğdır between 1915 and 1920; the Turkish president Süleyman Demirel was also present.
