FRANCE-ARMENIA-TURKEY-HISTORY-GENOCIDE-ANNIVERSARY

Members of the Armenian community hold an Armenian flag and an Armenian version of the flag of Nagorno-Karabakh, also known as the Republic of Artsakh, during a demonstration to denounce the recent war in Nagorno-Karabakh, as part of the commemoration of the 109th anniversary of the Armenian genocide, in Paris, 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.
