    A group of Israeli Armenian community members organized a rally
    denouncing Armenian Genocide near Turkish Embassy in Tel-Aviv.

    The demonstrators condemned Turkey's denial policy, carrying banners
    and Armenian flags.

    During World War I the government of Ottoman Empire organized barbaric
    extermination of about 1.5 Armenians, turning Western Anatolia into a
    desert. April 24, 1915 Armenian intellectuals of Turkey were arrested
    in Constantinople. April 24 is a Remembrance Day of Genocide victims
    and is commemorated in many countries each year.

    Armenian Genocide is recognized and condemned by a number of countries
    and international organizations. It is officially recognized
    by Uruguay, France, Italy, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands,
    Switzerland, Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Greece, Cyprus, Slovakia,
    Argentina, Canada, the Vatican, Lebanon, Chile, Sweden and others.
