Russian President Vladimir Putin will attend ceremonies marking 100
years since the mass killings of Armenians under the Ottoman Empire
in April, the Kremlin said on Thursday.
Armenia is hosting the commemoration for those killed by Ottoman
forces in World War I in its capital on April 24.
“Yes, he will fly to Yerevan,” Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov told
AFP, adding the Russian leader had discussed the issue with his
Armenian counterpart Serzh Sarkisian by telephone on Thursday.
