106-yr Anniversary of Armenian Genocide
An Armenian flag has been strung across a street in preparation of the upcoming commemoration ceremony to honor the anniversary of the Armenian Genocide in Bourj Hammoud, an Armenian neighborhood in Beirut, Lebanon on April 23, 2021. Saturday, April 24, marks 106 years since the Ottoman Turkish forces unleashed violence that killed up to 1.5 million Armenians in the Ottoman Empire. U.S. President Joe Biden told Turkish President Recep Tayyip ErdoÄan he plans to formally recognize the Armenian Genocide.
