Turks mark anniversary of mass killings

24-04-2010

For the first time, public events are being held in Turkey to mark the
anniversary of the 1915 mass killings and deportations of Armenians by
Ottoman Turks.
More than 60 Turkish intellectuals have called on their fellow
citizens to join them in silent protests in key sites across Istanbul.

Armenia and many other countries say the killing of up to
one-and-a-half million Armenians was genocide — a label Turkey
strongly rejects.
