April 24-th is a great deal for every Armeninan in the world, because it represents the very existing of the Armenian people due to the genocide that happened in 1915, when the ottoman empire decided to extinguish every single Armenian from the face of the earth by slaughtering them and hanging them and drag them to the Syrian desert where the majority of them died of hunger and thirst and whoever survived formed todays' diaspora of Armenians in the whole world.
The Armenian genocide began in late 1914 to 1915, when the Ottoman government first began to portray Armenians as a threat. One night in April 1915, they rounded up 250 Armenians who were influential in society and politics and imprisoned them. This was the start of the atrocities.
The Armenian Genocide was an extremely tragic event in which Armenians were butchered, massacred, and killed. The Armenian Genocide was carried out by the "Young Turk" government of the Ottoman Empire in 1915-1916 (with subsidiaries to 1922-23). One and a half million Armenians were killed, out of a total of two and a half million Armenians in the Ottoman Empire. Most Armenians in America are children or grandchildren of the survivors, although there are still many survivors amongst us. Armenians all over the world commemorate this great tragedy on April 24, because it was on that day in 1915 when 300 Armenian leaders, writers, thinkers and professionals in Constantinople (present day Istanbul) were rounded up, deported and killed. Also on that day in Constantinople, 5,000 of the poorest Armenians were butchered in the streets and in their homes. The Armenian Genocide was masterminded by the Central Committee of the Young Turk Party (Committee for Union and Progress [Ittihad ve Terakki Cemiyet, in Turkish]) which was dominated by Mehmed Talât [Pasha], Ismail Enver [Pasha], and Ahmed Djemal [Pasha]. They were a racist group whose ideology was articulated by Zia Gökalp, Dr. Mehmed Nazim, and Dr. Behaeddin Shakir. Any common Turks who protected Armenians were killed. First the Armenians in the army were disarmed, placed into labor battalions, and then killed. Then the Armenian political and intellectual leaders were rounded up on April 24, 1915, and then killed. Finally, the remaining Armenians were called from their homes, told they would be relocated, and then marched off to concentration camps in the desert between Jerablus and Deir ez-Zor where they would starve and thirst to death in the burning sun.
