Azerbaijan
Armenian Youth Federation launched a 72-hour Hunger Strike in Toronto
(Canada) calling on Turkey to recognize the so-called "Armenian
Genocide" and "stop human rights violations", said the statement of
Azerbaijani-American Council.
Starting Friday, June 10, Armenians gathered at a close distance
to the Turkish Consulate on Queens Quay and Lower Spadina Avenue,
with signs, flags, a coffin and other attributes. They were there
for 3 days, including the Sunday Candlelight Vigilance at 9 pm right
across the street from the Consulate.
However, from the very first day of the hunger strike, Friday,
Azerbaijanis and Turks were handing out brochures and fact sheets
about Armenian lies, aggressive policies, hatred, occupation of
Azerbaijani lands and Khojaly, across the street from the Armenians.
Azerbaijanis were also armed with posters, signs, t-shirts and flags.
If at the beginning the action on each sides was attended by
approximately 40 people, but later Azerbaijanis and Turks significantly
outnumbered Armenians. Members of the media called by Armenians
shifted all attention to the Azerbaijanis and Turks.
40 minutes before the protest was supposed to end Armenians packed
up and left. Thus, the Azerbaijani and Turkish communities celebrated
very first, but crucial victory, once again proving their unity.
