On April 24th 1915, authorities in the Ottoman Empire arrested over 200 Armenian notables in the city of Constantinople, who were later executed or expelled from the capital. This decapitation strike targeted Armenian community leaders and is marked annually as the anniversary of the beginning of the Armenian genocide, during which around 1 million Armenians were murdered.
