• Union Cabinet approved the MoU between Competition Commission of India (CCI) and

• Using a new platform, scientists have developed a Covid-19 vaccine that they say could offer
protection against not only existing and future strains of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, but also
other coronaviruses.
• The new vaccine-production platform was invented by Dr Steven L Zeichner of the University of
Virginia Health System (UVA).
• The vaccine targets a part of the virus’s spike protein called the fusion peptide.
• This compound is essentially universal among coronaviruses.
• Most vaccines in development target either the entire spike protein, or just the receptor binding
domain (RBD). While antibodies against the RBD can provide good neutralising activity, there can
be mutations in the RBD that decrease somewhat the effectiveness of the antibodies.

History:
▪ The Armenian Genocide is called the first genocide of the 20th century.
▪ Refers to – Systematic annihilation of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire from 1915 to
1917.
▪ After the First World War broke out in November 1914, the Ottoman Turks participated
in the war, siding with Germany and the Austro-Hungarian empire.
▪ On 24th April 1915, Ottoman Turkish government officials arrested and executed
thousands of Armenian intellectuals. It was the start of the Armenian Genocide.
▪ Armenian families, including small children, were forced to walk for days without food,
water and shelter in the deserts of Syria and Arabia.
▪ According to estimates, approximately 1.5 million Armenians died during the genocide,
either in massacres and in killings, or from ill treatment, abuse and starvation.

➢ According to the Armenian National Institute, 30 countries officially recognise the


Armenian Genocide.
➢ Such moves would only set back the already strained relationship between US and
Turkey, both of whom are North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies.

➢ Turkey has acknowledged that atrocities were committed against Armenians, but denies
it was a genocide (which comes with legal implications) and challenges the estimates
that 1.5 million were killed.

➢ India, that has not formally recognised the Armenian Genocide has primarily adopted
this stance in the interests of its wider foreign policy decisions and geo-political interests
in the region.

➢ India does not have any domestic law on genocide, even though it has ratified the
United Nations Convention on Genocide.

ु ाव हदया है कक फसि वववविीकरण का सबसे अच्छा मौका पशु करवष /
