Armenian genocide has always been in the spotlight of Armenian as well as foreign media. The role of global media coverage is vital in the sense that it touches upon numerous issues concerning Armenian genocide. Especially notable are English, Russian, French and American coverage and publications on issues pertaining Hamidian massacres, Adana atrocities and of course, the Genocide of 1915-1922.
Cover pages of Italian "Il Secolo Illustrato" magazine issued in 1895, French "Le Musee De Sires" of 1896, California-based "Oakland Tribune" of 1909, issues of National Geographic magazine of 1915-1919, as well as one of the recent issues of Brasilian "Leituras da Historia" can be seen on the web-site.

Foreign media publications condemning the violence of Ottoman power against Armenians serve as an indirect evidence of the fact that the Turkish atrocities were indeed genocide committed against Armenians.
