Commenting on the role of art for the Genocide recognition, Sos Sargsyan emphasized that “the great power of art is capable of forming mentalities, advancing international recognition of Genocide.” The Armenian Genocide The Armenian Genocide (1915-23) was the deliberate and systematic destruction of the Armenian population of the Ottoman Empire during and just after World War I. It was characterized by massacres and deportations, involving forced marches under conditions designed to lead to the death of the deportees, with the total number of deaths reaching 1.5 million.
