Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., for his speech commemorating the 87th anniversary of the Armenian genocide Sunday, April 21, 2002, in New York. Armenians accuse Turks of a genocide of up to 1.5 million Armenians between 1915 and 1923. Turks reject the claim, saying the number of deaths is inflated and that they were killed in civil unrest. Turkey said Saturday, April 20, 2002, it would grant rare permission to scholars to study its archives, which it says will disprove claims of genocide. (AP Photo/Harry L. Koundakjian)
