The Guardian has published in the ‘Rights and Freedom’ section photos of events in the countries fighting for freedom over the past two weeks, including a photo taken at the Tsitsernakaberd Armenian Genocide Memorial on the 106th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
The periodical wrote in particular:
“People in the Armenian capital, Yerevan, mark the 106th anniversary of the Armenian genocide. Up to 1.5 million Armenians died after they were deported en masse by the Ottoman Turks from eastern Anatolia and adjoining regions to the Syrian desert in 1915-16. Many victims died of starvation or disease in death marches across the desert or were massacred by troops. Joe Biden became the first president to declare formal US recognition of the Turkish campaign as genocide,” The Guardian writes.
