BBC wrote that 1.5 million Armenians were killed in the territory of the Ottoman Empire and emphasized that Turkey continues to deny the Armenian Genocide even a century after the Armenian massacres.

The Telegraph recalled that the 24^th of April is the day of the commemoration because it was on that day that a large group of Armenian intellectuals were killed.
