There have been calls for India to acknowledge Armenian genocide – media

Amid the growing relations, there have been calls for India to acknowledge the 1915–16 Armenian genocide during World War I in the Ottoman Empire, The Week (Indian magazine) reports.

“India has been slowly expanding its presence in several West Asian countries, particularly Greece, Cyprus, and Armenia. The Greek City Times dubbed it India’s new West Asia quad to counter Turkey’s influence. Recently, New Delhi sought the help of Armenia to evacuate its citizens stranded in the Iran-Israel conflict zone, strengthening its ties with the country.

Turkey also showed support to Azerbaijan during the Nagorno-Karabakh war, in which Armenia was defeated. The country turned to India for crucial defence supplies,” it writes.
