Every year on April 24, Armenians around the world remember the victims of the Armenian Genocide that took place in the Ottoman Empire in 1915. 2023 marks the 108th anniversary of the “Great Calamity”. 1.5 million Armenians died during the Genocide. Turkey, the successor of the Ottoman Empire, has not recognized the crime as genocide.

On this day, tens of thousands of citizens walked to Yerevan’s Armenian Genocide Memorial (Tzitzernakaberd), to honor the memory of the victims of the Armenian Genocide.
