That tragic evening was only the beginning of the Armenian genocide which would last 9 years. In one fell swoop. an entire generation o1 Armenian religious. political. and intellectual leaders was destroyed. From 191523. the Ottoman Empire murdered 1/2 million Armenians and exiled 500.000 more. By the end of 1923. the entire Armenian population of the Turkish provinces of Anatolia and western Armenia had been either killed or deported. Today. we remember those who perished and extend our support to their grieving families. Just as we commemorate the triumphs of world history. we should also remember and learn from its tragedies and its failings.
