In short, I have written a slightly more objective and one-sided article about the Armenian deportation with a historical objectivity that neither side can reject.

'''Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day''' ({{lang-hy|Մեծ Եղեռնի զոհերի հիշատակի օր}} ''Mets Yegherrni zoheri hishataki or'') . The problem starts at the beginning. First, on November 2, 1914, Russia and the Allied Powers, including France and England, declared war on the Ottoman Empire on November 5, 1914. When the war started, the Russians began to occupy Eastern Anatolia, including Kars and Ardahan, via Georgia. In fact, the Russians wanted to use the Armenians for themselves.From the very beginning, he told the Ottoman Armenian people that his nation was loyal, until the Russians invaded Anatolia.The leading Armenians felt that the Ottoman Empire was suffering defeat after defeat and the central authority was weak.They started raiding Turkish villages, killing unarmed civilians, their neighbors and plundering their property.. Of course, the central government said that it was very disturbing and asked them to stop this behavior and actions as soon as possible. Armenian rebels ignored these statements.There were such conflicts, large and small, until, while the Ottoman armies and the Russians were fighting in Anatolia, the Russians and the Armenians made secret agreements.Then the Ottoman soldiers fighting the Russians in the front, this time the Armenians from the Armenian villages behind the front line, first fired harassing fire at the Ottoman army, then increased the dose they continued The Ottoman army, caught between both behind and in front of the front, suffered heavy casualties.Of course, at that time, there was the central government, the Committee of Union and Progress, Cemal, Pasha, Enver Pasha and TALAT PASHA, who was the first person to put forward this project. The Armenians, together with the Russians, raided villages in and around Erzurum and committed all kinds of evil, even committing crimes against humanity by impaling hundreds of people alive. In the following years, mass graves were also found, of course, these events angered the central government and the local people were in a desperate situation.There was only one project left, and that was the idea that Armenians should be deported no matter what. After the preparations were completed, most of the people in the south were deported to Syria, Lebanon, and the Armenians in Central Anatolia and all other regions were deported to today's side, that is, to the east.This eased the situation of Turkey, also known as the Ottoman Empire, in Central Anatolia.

İSTORY

Genocide memorial in Saint Sarkis Cathedral, Tehran

The date 24 April commemorates the deportation of Armenian intellectuals on 24 April 1915 from Constantinople (present-day Istanbul). The first commemoration, organised by a group of Armenian Genocide survivors, was held in Istanbul in 1919 at the local St. Trinity Armenian church.[6] Many prominent figures in the Armenian community participated in the commemoration. Following its initial commemoration in 1919, the date became the day of remembrance for the Armenian Genocide.[6]

On 9 April 1975, the US House of Representatives passed Joint Resolution 148 designating 24 April as a National Day of Remembrance of Man's Inhumanity to Man.[7] The Resolution commemorated the victims of genocide, especially those of Armenian ancestry who succumbed to the genocide perpetrated in 1915, The resolution however failed to pass in the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee due to President Gerald R. Ford’s strong opposition to what he saw as a threat to the country's strategic alliance with Turkey.[8]

In 1988, Soviet Armenia formally adopted 24 April as a public day of commemoration.[9]: 215 

In 1997 in the US, the California State Assembly declared 24 April as a Day of Remembrance for the Armenian Genocide of 1915–1923, and for the victims of the Sumgait Pogroms of 1988 and Baku Riots of 1990.[9]: 232 

In 2007, Argentina passed National Law 26199, designating 24 April as "Day of Action for Tolerance and Respect among Peoples", in which Armenian Argentines are excused from work.[10][11]

In 2015, the House of Commons of Canada unanimously passed Motion M-587, proposed by Brad Butt, marking April to be Genocide Remembrance, Condemnation and Prevention Month, and designating 24 April as Armenian Genocide Memorial Day.[12]

In 2019, France marked its first national commemoration of the genocide,[13][14] with French president Emmanuel Macron declaring 24 April "a national day of remembrance of the Armenian genocide", fulfilling a campaign pledge.

In 2021, US President Joe Biden recognized the genocide on 24 April, fulfilling a campaign pledge.[15][16]
