On April 24. 1915. hundreds of Armenian political. intellectual. and spiritual leaders were seized by Ottoman authorities. only to be executed or exiled. For the next 8 years. Ottoman Armenians were forced from their lands into exile in America. Russia. Europe. and the Arab countries. Between 1915 and 1923. it is estimated that 1.5 million of the 2.3 million Ottoman Armenians had either died or had been deported from their homeland. a land which they inhabited for over three millenia. Unfortunately. there have been repeated attempts to hide this dark moment in history and to deny that it ever happened. We must not let this happen.
