The Armenian Genocide(Armenian: Հայոց ցեղասպանություն Hayots tseghaspanutyun),also known as the Armenian Holocaust,the Armenian Massacres and, traditionally by Armenians, as Medz Yeghern (Armenian: Մեծ Եղեռն, "Great Crime"), was the Ottoman government's systematic extermination of its minority Armenian subjects inside their historic homeland, which lies within the territory constituting the present-day Republic of Turkey. The total number of people killed as a result has been estimated at between 800,000 to 1.5 million. The starting date is conventionally held to be 24 April 1915, the day Ottoman authorities rounded up and arrested, subsequently executing, some 250 Armenian intellectuals and community leaders in Constantinople.
In this special year 2015, we did this 3 minute animation for the centenary of the Armenian Genocide. The Turkish government denies to the date that the genocide took place. It has passed a hundred years, today April 24th, and we`ll keep on fighting till recognition. This is a small tribute to the 1.500.000 victims.
