Feb. 15, 1926: Mehmet Celal Bey, an Ottoman Turkish official who sought to obstruct the genocide against the Armenians during WWI, dies at 62 in Constantinople. The regional governor was twice removed from his posts for refusing to assist in what he called "extermination."

Hello! It is the thing everyone who has followed this closely expected
"The peace deal has not yet been signed by the two rivals ... On Monday, Baku said 'further actions' were required to sign the peace agreement, including amendments to Armenia's constitution."
I'd been waiting to see how they resolved the really thorny sticking points, and it seems they ... didn't.

In the northern Illinois village of Roscoe, Thomas F. Agran was commissioned in 2022 to create a mural honoring the area. He painted a detailed, evocative image of the Pecatonica River watershed.
Now, just three years in, village trustees have voted paint it over because some of them don't like it.
