It is Bambi&#8217;s hope that more countries will join Israel, the European Union, and the 30+ countries who did this official recognition, including Canada, the USA, and Lebanon. As a reminder, what is called the &#8220;Armenian genocide&#8221; is the systematic elimination and deportation of Armenian people living in the Ottoman Empire from spring 1915 to autumn 1916. We are talking about an estimate of 664,000 to 1.2 million Armenians (<a href=\"https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/msy55y3\">https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/msy55y3<\/a>). May the memory of these innocent people be eternal&#8230; Long live Armenia and its diaspora worldwide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Pour Toi Armenie - Opera Viva &amp; All Stars.
