The recent trilateral meeting in Moscow once again failed to address the people of Artsakh's rightful plea for independence, the safe return of #Armenian POW's, the safeguarding of #Artsakh's Cultural Heritage and the importance of clearing the region from #Azerbaijan's foreign mercenaries. These are highly critical issues that must be resolved with the help of the international community. Canada and other OSCE The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe countr...ies must play a decisive role in addressing these time-sensitive and life-saving matters. #DefendArtsakh #RecognizeArtsakh Marc Garneau Michael Chong Stéphane Bergeron Montarville Jack Harris Canada’s Foreign PolicyGlobal Affairs Canada Canada in Turkey

31 years ago today, #Azerbaijani nationalist forces began the systematic and pre-determined massacre and deportation of the ethnic #Armenian community in #Baku. The #BakuPogroms were Azerbaijan’s violent response to the Republic of #Artsakh’s rightful plea for freedom and independence. So long as the International community chooses to remain indifferent to Turkish-Azerbaijani crimes, anti-Armenian hatred and violence will continue, as demonstrated most recently during their j...oint war against the Republic of Artsakh. It's time to move beyond statements and take concrete actions against genocidal dictators. #StopAliyev #StopErdogan #RecognizeArtsakh #DefendArtsakh Marc Garneau Michael Chong Stéphane Bergeron Montarville Jack Harris Canada’s Foreign PolicyGlobal Affairs Canada Canada in Turkey

Newly released #Azerbaijani stamp shows a man "disinfecting" #Artsakh of #Armenians. This latest example of state-sponsored #Armenophobia in #Azerbaijan shows how Baku wants the land, but not the people. Such blatant xenophobia and hatred must not be tolerated by the international community and must be strongly condemned. François-Philippe Champagne Michael Chong Stéphane Bergeron Montarville ...

Remember their faces... Frunze Arshakyan, 24 years old . Lost his life saving our homeland. May you rest in eternal peace our immortal hero... Frunze was 24 year old student of the State University of Architecture and Construction of Armenia. In 2016, he participated in April War and came back with the "Vazgen Sargsian" medal. On September 28, Frunze went to the frontlines as a volunteer in order to help the young soldiers and share his experience with them. He was injured while saving his friends and unfortunately died. #ArtsakhStrong #StopAzerbaijaniAggression #PeaceforArmenians #Armenia #Turkey #Azerbaijan #NagornoKarabakh #Karabakh #NKPeace #PolCan #CdnPoli #QcPoli #PolQc

Le Devoir - "Dès les premiers jours, l’armée azérie a pu également compter sur ses alliés turcs, qui l’ont assistée, entre autres, en envoyant des munitions sophistiquées. Elle a par ailleurs eu recours à des drones militaires turcs équipés de systèmes de ciblage canadiens. Même si le ministre canadien des Affaires étrangères, François-Philippe Champagne, a essayé de rectifier le tir par la suite, mais le mal était déjà fait."

AZERBAIJAN & TURKEY ARE GUILTY OF WAR CRIMES During the war, Azerbaijan and Turkey committed countless war crimes and gross human rights abuses, violating all the norms of international law and the Geneva Convention. Canada’s and the international community's failure to condemn this genocidal aggression emboldened Azerbaijan and Turkey to continue committing their crimes with impunity. Azerbaijan and Turkey must be held accountable and brought to justice by the internati...onal community. #StopAzerbaijan #StopTurkey François-Philippe Champagne Michael Chong Stéphane Bergeron Montarville Jack Harris Photos: PeopleOfAr
