Armenian Genocide in education

The Armenian Genocide was the systematic mass killing of around 1.5 million Armenians by the Ottoman Empire during World War I, from 1915 to 1923. It involved forced deportations, massacres, and starvation, aimed at eradicating Armenians from their homeland. Recognized as a genocide by many countries and scholars, it remains a sensitive and sometimes contested historical event. Education about it helps promote awareness, prevent denial, and foster acknowledgment of human rights abuses, ensuring that lessons from the past inform efforts to prevent such atrocities in the future.
