New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani post on X social network
The 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide has passed. As we pay tribute to the 1.5 million Armenians who were killed by the Ottoman Empire in what is now Turkey, Syria and Armenia, we must not allow history to repeat itself.
In 2020, the military forces of Azerbaijan and Turkey attacked the Armenian population of Nagorno Karabakh. In 2023, Azerbaijan expelled more than 100,000 Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh, continuing the genocidal campaign that began more than 100 years ago.
On this Memorial Day, we reaffirm the right of the Armenian people and all peoples to freedom, security and self-determination
