The organization urges everyone to join the march for promotion of justice and protection of human rights. “We march against the impunity and denial, understanding that the struggle of the Armenian people is the struggle of all peoples, that impunity leads to further atrocities,” the organization’s statement said. The Armenian Genocide The Armenian Genocide (1915-23) was the deliberate and systematic destruction of the Armenian population of the Ottoman Empire during and just after World War I. It was characterized by massacres and deportations, involving forced marches under conditions designed to lead to the death of the deportees, with the total number of deaths reaching 1.5 million.
