The Armenian Genocide: Remembering to Never Forget

The Armenian Genocide is a tragic event that has deeply marked the history of the Armenian people. It took place between 1915 and 1923, during World War I, under the Ottoman regime led by the Young Turks party.

Armenians, as well as other Christian minorities such as the Arameans and the Pontic Greeks, were victims of persecutions, forced deportations, and systematic extermination.

Historians estimate that more than a million Armenians lost their lives during this genocide. Commemorating the Armenian Genocide on April 24 is an opportunity to remember the victims, pay tribute to their memory, and raise awareness about the atrocities committed.

Many countries now officially recognize the Armenian Genocide, but Turkey, stemming from the Ottoman Empire, continues to deny its responsibility in these events. It is essential to remember these human tragedies so that such acts do not happen again in the future.

The duty of remembrance is crucial to combat denialism and promote justice and reconciliation among peoples.
