People hold pictures of Armenian victims on Istiklal avenue in Istanbul on April 24, 2015, during a rally to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the 1915 mass killing of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire. Armenians demand that Turkey regognizes the genocide of 1,5 million of their kin killed between 1915 and 1917 by the Ottoman Empire, Turkey’s predecessor. In rejecting the genocide label, Turkey says between 300,000 and 500,000 Armenians and at least as many Turks died in civil strife when Armenians took up arms in eastern Anatolia and sided with invading Russian troops.
