The members of the Armenian Youth Federation remember the more than 1.5 million Armenians who perished at the hands of the Ottoman Empire in the Armenian Genocide of 1915. It is one of this organization's paramount goals to ensure worldwide and Turkish recognition of this atrocity in an attempt to raise awareness of crimes against humanity and prevent any other nation from a similar fate. Fighting for Armenian Genocide recognition is not a task reserved for any single day or month of the year, but a responsibility which the members of the Armenian Youth Federation strive to fulfill year-round.
