Tag: Armenian Genocide

Last updated: May 29, 2026

The Armenian Genocide refers to the systematic extermination and deportation of the Armenian population of the Ottoman Empire beginning in 1915, in which an estimated 1.5 million Armenians were killed. It is recognized as a genocide by numerous countries, international organizations, and scholars, though Turkey has a state policy of denial.

The genocide is foundational to modern Armenian identity and political consciousness, and it shapes Armenian foreign policy, diaspora advocacy, and the country’s relationship with Turkey. Groong episodes touching on the Armenian Genocide address a wide range of related themes: the ongoing struggle for international recognition, genocide denial by Turkey and Azerbaijan, the political significance of US recognition under the Biden administration, the intersection of genocide commemoration with contemporary Armenian security concerns, and the legacy of the genocide for the Armenian diaspora.
