The Union of Armenians of Russia has been installing billboards throughout Moscow, commemorating the Armenian Genocide masterminded and perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire in 1915-1923.

The campaign has been implemented in previous years too, "as a reminder that more than a hundred years ago our people went through the most cruel page in our history – the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire."

On April 24, 1915, a large group of Armenian intellectuals was rounded up and assassinated in Constantinople by the Ottoman government. On April 24, 2022, Armenians worldwide will be commemorating the 107th anniversary of the Genocide which continued until 1923. Some three dozen countries, hundreds of local government bodies and international organizations have so far recognized the killings of 1.5 million Armenians as Genocide. Turkey denies to this day.
