Armenian communities around the world mark the killing of up to 1.5
million Armenians, on April 24 each year with marches, vigils and
rallies to demand recognition from the world community, and reparations
from Turkey. Wednesday, April 24, 2013 is the 98th anniversary of the
mass killing of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire in 1915. Turkey claims
the number of deaths is inflated and says the victims were killed in
civil unrest. Twenty one countries worldwide, including Greece, Russia,
and France as well as the European parliament recognize the mass
killings as an act of genocide, despite strong objections from Turkey.
