ArmInfo. Today marks the 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. As we honor the 1.5 million Armenians murdered by the Ottoman Empire across modern-day Turkey, Syria, and Armenia, we must refuse to let history  repeat itself. New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani wrote on X.

He also touched on the events in Nagorno-Karabakh, recalling that in  2020, the military forces of Azerbaijan and Turkey attacked the  Armenian population in  Nagorno-Karabakh. Mamdani emphasized that in  2023, Azerbaijan expelled over 100,000 Armenians from  Nagorno-Karabakh, continuing the genocidal campaign that had began  over 100 years prior.

"On this day of remembrance, we reaffirm the right of the Armenian  people—and all people—to freedom, security, and self-determination,"  the Mayor wrote.
