A group of 8 Canadian-Armenians finished the 72-hour hunger-strike
before in front of Turkish Consulate in Toronto, reports Asbarez.
The demonstrators protested against violations of human rights by
Turkish government, emphasizing the denial of Armenian Genocide,
suppression of freedom of speech and press, continuous occupation of
Cyprus and oppression of national minorities.
The hunger strike ended with an official demonstration on June
13. The demonstrators sent the newly elected Turkish officials
a message stating that Canadians and the international community
will not remain silent observers when Turkish government denies its
citizens their fundamental rights and campaigns for the denial of
the Armenian Genocide.
