Armenians march in Miami Beach to condemn Azerbaijan, demand Artsakh independence
More than 100 protesters marched in Miami Beach on Friday afternoon, calling for an end to fighting between Armenia and Azerbaijan forces in Nagorno-Karabakh, Miami Herald reports.
Pro-Armenian protests have taken place in major US cities since the escalation on September 27.
The demonstrators, who gathered outside City Hall before marching along Lincoln Road, waved Armenian flags and held signs as they chanted in opposition to Azerbaijan and Turkey, which supports its claim to the disputed territory.
Miami Beach Commissioner Mark Samuelian, who is of Armenian descent, joined the protest in support of an independent Artsakh. Miami-Dade County Commissioner Xavier Suarez was also in attendance.
