On April 24. 81 years ago. the Ottoman Turkish Government launched their systematic and deliberate campaign of genocide against the Armenian people. This violent campaign resulted In the deaths of over onethird of the Armenian population living In the Ottoman Emplire and the exile of approximately 500.000 Armenians from their homeland. Unfortunately. the persecution of the Armenians did not end in 1923. but continues today. Since 1988. the NagomoKarabakh conflict involving Armenia and Azerbaijan. has left more than 1.500 Armenians dead and hundreds of thousands of refugees In the three territories. A withering blockade of economic disruption has made everyday life a struggle for Armenians. Acquiring necessities for survival has become a great obstacle.
