Genocide is recognised
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE French parliament, in a vote which drew condemnation from Turkey and praise from Armenia, passed a Bill yesterday recognising the 1915 killings of Armenians by Turks as genocide.
Turkey had warned that relations with France would suffer and asked the Socialist-led government to intervene to stop the Bill. France has one of the largest Armenian communities in Europe - 300,000 strong - most of whom are descendants of survivors of the 1915 killings, in which, they say, 1.5 million of their compatriots died.
