What is april 24th national day?

April 24th is recognized as Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day in many countries. It commemorates the systematic extermination of Armenians by the Ottoman government during World War I, beginning in 1915. On April 24, 1915, hundreds of Armenian intellectuals and community leaders were arrested and subsequently executed in Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul), marking the start of the genocide.

This day serves as a time to:

• Remember and honor the victims of the Armenian%20Genocide
• Raise awareness about genocide prevention
• Advocate for recognition of the Armenian%20Genocide by governments worldwide.

While many countries and organizations officially recognize the events as genocide, the Turkish government disputes this characterization. The date remains a significant day for the Armenian%20diaspora and those who advocate for human rights and justice.
