Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day is a public holiday in Armenia and the Republic of Artsakh. It commemorates the deportation of Armenian intellectuals on April 24, 1915 from Constantinople (current Istanbul, Turkey).

Talaat Pasha, mastermind of Armenian Genocide, was assassinated by Armenian revolutionary and genocide survivor Soghomon Tehlirian in 1921. Despite the assassination occurring in broad daylight, and with Soghomon Tehlirian pleading guilty, the assassin was acquitted by reason of temporary insanity. Soghomon Tehlirian is a national hero in Armenia.
