Why this Armenian Research and Records Centre?
"In the recent History of Mankind and under the Eyes of the Civilised World, Two Genocides took Place. The First was the Armenian Genocide, and the Second One was The Jewish Holocaust."

As per Records, the Victims of the Armenian Genocide is around 1.5 Million, while the Victims of the Jewish Holocaust 6 Million.

In Jerusalem-Israel, there is a Centre which is called YAP VASHEM; and this is the Place where they have the details and particulars and family background for these Six Million Victims. To gather and put into Records these Information, some 2000 People have worked for some 20 Odd Years; and they are still working. What About Us The Armenians?

The Question of Malian:
How much Personal Information we have and if we have, where are these records for the 1.5 Million Armenians?
Malian and members of his family who have been working for some years, are hoping that, soon we will have a Central Place and whatever records there are, these be brought and gathered into One Place. this would be the way to Challenge the Turkish Claims-who are doubting Our Figures; of the 1.5 Million. The Turkish Authorities, based on their own Records and Archives, they say and give a very different but and certainly "much" less figure than the one we have.
