1.5 million: The number<\/a> of Armenians killed by Ottoman Turkss during World War I, per one estimate, in what historians consider to be a genocide. Why mention this now? US Vice President JD Vance visited a memorial to the mass killing in Yerevan on Tuesday. His office then posted<\/a> about it on social media, before deleting it. The reversal may have something to do with the US\u2019s security partnership with Turkey \u2013 Ankara opposes describing the killings as a \u201cgenocide.\u201d<\/p>\n

9: The number of people killed during a mass shooting<\/a> \u2013 part of which took place at a school \u2013 in the remote Canadian town of Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, on Tuesday, in what was the deadliest school-related shooting in the country in decades<\/a>. The only suspect, who was a woman, was found dead at the school from \u201cself-inflicted wounds.\u201d<\/p>\n

5: The number of consecutive months<\/a> in which Argentina\u2019s month-on-month inflation rate has risen, following the release of statistics yesterday. Prices rose 2.9% last month compared with December. President Javier Milei\u2019s record in cutting Argentina\u2019s notoriously high inflation had been one of his strengths<\/a>, but the recent uptick could undermine this.<\/p>\n

10 million: The proposed population cap<\/a> that Swiss voters will vote on in June, the government announced on Wednesday, after the right-wing People\u2019s Party put forward the policy idea. The proposal would cap immigration once the country surpasses that number \u2013 the current population is 9.1 million. A December poll found that 48% of voters support the measure. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"1.5 million: The number of Armenians killed by Ottoman Turkss during World War I, per one estimate, in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1938,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[4],"tags":[1680,2250,2248,2249,563,2251,2247,2246,17],"class_list":["post-1937","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-switzerland","tag-argentina","tag-argentina-inflation","tag-armenia","tag-armenian-genocide","tag-canada","tag-javier-milei","tag-jd-vance","tag-mass-shootings","tag-switzerland"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1937","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1937"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1937\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1938"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1937"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1937"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1937"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
