Interesting fact

The commemorative medal for the Armenian genocide, issued in 1915, serves as a significant historical artifact that symbolizes the recognition of the atrocities faced by Armenians during this period, which is often referred to as the first genocide of the 20th century. The term "genocide" itself was coined in 1944, largely inspired by the events of 1915-16, highlighting its lasting impact on international law and human rights discourse.
