April 24th: A Day of Remembrance and Significance

April 24th holds importance for several reasons, most notably for being Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day. It marks the date in 1915 when Ottoman authorities arrested and executed hundreds of Armenian intellectuals and community leaders in Constantinople (now Istanbul), initiating a systematic campaign that resulted in the deaths of an estimated 1.5 million Armenians. For Armenians worldwide, this day is a solemn occasion for mourning, remembrance, and calls for recognition of the genocide.

Beyond its somber significance, April 24th also marks other events of varying importance, dependent on geographical location and specific interests.
