Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day

Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day (Armenian: Մեծ Եղեռնի զոհերի հիշատակի օր, romanized: Mets Yegherrni zoheri hishataki), also known as Armenian Genocide Memorial Day, is a public holiday in Armenia and the former Republic of Artsakh (before the expulsion of its Armenian population) and is observed by the Armenian diaspora on 24 April. It is held annually to commemorate the victims of the Armenian genocide of 1915, a series of massacres and starvation of 1.5 million Armenians by the Ottomans.
