SERVICES IN ARMENIA AND TURKEY MARK MASS KILLINGS AND GALLIPOLI

Armenia has been marking the 100th anniversary of the start of mass killings of Armenians by Ottoman Turks.

The country says as many as 1.5 million Armenian Christians were killed.

Turkey disputes that number and also objects to the killings being described as 'genocide'.

The French and Russian Presidents have been in Armenia's capital Yerevan for the commemorations.

Turkey, meanwhile, has been hosting events to mark the start of the Battle of Gallipoli during World War One, 100 years ago.

The Gallipoli campaign led to over 100 000 allied deaths - including about 10 000 from New Zealand and Australian forces.

Britain's Prince Charles is attending Gallipoli events in Turkey along with dignitaries from Australia, New Zealand and Turkey.

EU TO TRIPLE FUNDING FOR MIGRANT CRISIS SEARCH AND RESCUE

The European Union is to triple funding for search and rescue operations amid the migrant crisis in the Mediterranean.

A summit of leaders in Brussels also agreed to explore ways to destroy the boats used by people traffickers, and several countries are promising to contribute ships to the search and rescue operation.

Over 1700 migrants have died in the Mediterranean this year attempting to cross to Europe from Libya.

COMMEMORATIONS MARK ARMENIAN KILLINGS, GALLIPOLI CAMPAIGN

Commemorations are being held around the world to mark 100 years since the Ottoman Turks began mass killings of Armenians.

Armenia says as many as 1.5 million people died in a genocide during World War I - Turkey disputes these numbers and objects to its description as 'genocide'.

Turkey is also hosting ceremonies to mark the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the Battle of Gallipoli, with Armenia accusing Turkey of trying to divert attention away from commemorations for the mass killings.

The fighting at Gallipoli started on April 25th when allied forces landed on on the Gallipoli peninsula, but the invasion failed, leading to tens of thousands of casualties, notably of Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (Anzac) soldiers.
