Last month, The Boston Globe’s editorial board delivered a 366-word piece
calling on the U.S. government to officially recognize the Armenian
Genocide. The article, published in print on April 24, notes that 100
years ago to the day, “Armenian intellectuals and public figures were
detained and summarily executed in Constantinople—the beginning of the
systematic purge of the Armenian population at the hands of the Ottoman
government. By 1917, 1.5 million Armenians were murdered.”
