World famous Cher said the Armenian Genocide is truth. The Turks deny Armenian Genocide but it happened, she said.

“It's true about Genocide! Turks deny it, but it happened! Like we killed the original Americans, the Turks 'murdered' Armenians,” she tweeted.

The 1915-1923 events are considered by many historians as a state-supported mass murder - genocide. Armenia states that the death toll exceeds 1.5 million people; the half of all Armenians at the beginning of the last century.

The Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey is also recognized by France, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, Lithuania, Slovakia, Switzerland, Sweden, Greece, Cyprus, Lebanon, Canada, Venezuela, Argentina, and 44 of the 50 US states. Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and Australia likewise have made similar decisions. Russia, on the other hand, has adopted two official statements condemning the Armenian Genocide. The Armenian Genocide is also recognized by the Vatican, the European Parliament, and the World Council of Churches.
