ARMENIA-TURKEY-HISTORY-WWI-GENOCIDE-ANNIVERSARY

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan (C) lays flowers at the Tsitsernakaberd Armenian Genocide Memorial, in Yerevan, to mark the 109th anniversary of World War I-era mass killings, on April 24, 2024. Armenians mark the 109th anniversary of the massacres in which they say some 1.5 million ethnic Armenians were killed during World War I as the Ottoman Empire collapsed. Armenians have long sought to have the killings internationally recognised as a genocide, with the support of many other countries, but this has been fiercely rejected by Turkey.
