LEBANON-ARMENIAN-GENOCIDE-ANNIVERSARY
The skeletal remains of more than one hundred and fifty Armenians killed during their exodus from persecutions by the Ottoman government in 1915 are displayed at the Saint Stephanos chapel in the Armenian Orthodox Archdiocese in Antelias, north of the Lebanese capital, Beirut, on April 7, 2015. The chapel, which holds the remains, has undergone renovation ahead of the 100th anniversary of the 1915 mass killings of Armenians during World War I which Yerevan regards as genocide. Armenians say up to 1.5 million of their kin were killed between 1915 and 1917 as the Ottoman Empire was falling apart, and have long sought to win international recognition of the massacres as genocide, but Turkey rejects the claims, arguing that 300,000 to 500,000 Armenians and as many Turks died in civil strife when Armenians rose up against their Ottoman rulers and sided with invading Russian troops.
