FIRST-PERSON: Remembering the Armenian Genocide
Armenia, a small country around the size of Maryland located just north of the Middle East – surrounded by Muslim countries to the east (Azerbaijan), west (Türkiye) and south (Iran) – adopted Christianity as a people in 301 A.D., making it the first Christian nation in the world. Last week, April 24, marked the day that Armenians across the globe commemorated the Armenian Genocide, where in 1915, between 600,000 to 1.5 million Armenians were murdered in Ottoman Turkey.
