Armenian Montrealers protest in front of Montreal City Hall
A few hundred Armenian Montrealers gathered in front of Montreal City Hall on Thursday to demand the support of Mayor Valérie Plante.
Protesters say they want Plante to condemn Azerbaijan’s aggressions to Armenians and to call for peace in the Nagorno-Karabakh territory, a disputed region internationally considered part of Azerbaijan but ruled by Armenian ethnic forces.
Demonstrators were also there to “call on the City of Montreal to officially recognize the independence of the Republic of Artzakh,” said Apraham Niziblian of the Armenian National Committee of Quebec.
