My Way News - Armenians around the world mark 1915 genocide
My Way News reports: "Around the world on Friday, tens of thousands of people of Armenian
descent commemorated the genocide 100 years ago of 1.5 million Armenians
by Ottoman Turks.
[...] An estimated 1.5 million died in massacres, deportations and
forced marches that began in 1915 as Ottoman officials worried that the
Christian Armenians would side with Russia, its enemy in World War I.
The event is widely viewed by historians as genocide."
