Today, April 24, Armenians around the world remember the 1.5 million victims of the Armenian Genocide.
107 years ago on this day, April 24, 1915, in the capital of the Ottoman Empire, Constantinople, the destruction of the Armenian subjects of the empire began, which began with the arrests of representatives of the Armenian intelligentsia: writers and poets, architects and parliamentarians, and then grew into a massacre.
1.5 million Armenians were deported, died of starvation and torture. Avoiding responsibility, the leaders of the Young Turks fled justice in the fall of 1918. However, none of the main defendants escaped him. Historians who substantiate the heredity of the anti-Armenian policy note that three different and hostile administrations in Turkey were in solidarity with only one issue: the complete annihilation of the Armenians. And the governments that followed them consistently denied the Armenian Genocide.
According to the 11th point of the memorandum of August 23, 1990, Armenia supports the international recognition of the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey and Western Armenia.
