    Majority of international community supports recognition of Armenian
    Genocide: survey


    YEREVAN, Jan. 27 (Xinhua) -- The majority of the world community votes
    for international recognition of the 1915 Armenian Genocide, the
    Armenpress news agency reported Tuesday citing a survey.

    According to the index issued by the Foundation for Political
    Innovations, based in Paris, 70 percent of the people around the world
    considered the 1915 bloody event in the Ottoman Empire as genocide.

    The survey was conducted among the residents, aged from 16 to 29, in
    Germany, Russia, the United States and other countries.

    About 1.5 million Armenians were killed in the Ottoman Empire in
    1915-1923, and the survivors were expelled and found refuge in
    different parts of the world.

    Now more than 20 countries have officially recognized the fact of the
    Armenian Genocide.

    Armenians across the world will mark the 100th anniversary of the 1915
    Genocide on April 24, 2015.
