April 24

Observed annually on April 24, Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day commemorates the lives lost during the mass killings of Armenians by the Ottoman Empire in 1915. In Armenia, France, and among diaspora communities worldwide, ceremonies are held at memorials, churches, and public squares. The day serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of historical awareness, human rights, and the prevention of genocide. Wreath-laying events, educational programs, and candlelight vigils bring together government officials, survivors, and descendants to pay tribute. It is also a moment for reflection on reconciliation and justice, advocating for recognition and remembrance.
