Today, April 24, is the 109th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
April 24, 1915, is considered the day of remembrance of the victims of the Armenian Genocide, but the massacres of Armenians began at the end of the 19th century, when the ruling regions of Turkey in 1892-1923, first the Hamidian Turkey, then the Young Turks government, organized a genocide. Thus, the Armenian population of Western Armenia, Cilicia, and the provinces of the Ottoman Empire was subjected to mass deportation and destruction.
On April 24, 1915, more than two hundred Armenian intellectuals were arrested in Constantinople based on the orders of the Turkish authorities and were exiled and brutally killed.
