April 24, 2015 will mark the 100-year anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, a concerted campaign by Ottoman leaders that resulted in the deaths and exile of the vast majority of their Armenian citizens, which remains unrecognized by any Turkish government.
To mark this tragic milestone, Project 2015, a US-based non-profit group, working with DurDe, a leading Turkish human rights organization, along with other civil society groups and activists in Turkey, is organizing a series of commemorative events in Istanbul between April 22 – 24, 2015.
Project 2015 is a US-based non-profit group whose board is comprised of leading scholars, academics, activists, and writers of Armenian and Turkish descent in the United States. The Board is helping to organize the program for the commemoration events in Istanbul, working closely with Turkish civil society organizations.
