Calling the Aggressor an Aggressor: Australian Armenians' Protest
Hundreds of Armenians organized a protest in front of the Azerbaijani embassy in Canberra, the capital of Australia, demanding that the government address the escalation of the conflict that has lasted over a decade between Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey in the region of Nagorno-Karabakh, which is populated by indigenous Armenians, reports The Guardian.
The source recalls that Australia's Foreign Minister Marise Payne expressed concerns regarding this issue and called on all parties to seek a peaceful and negotiated resolution. However, it is noted that the protesters still accuse the government of being a passive observer and demand, "call the attack an attack, call the aggressor an aggressor."
Armenian protesters in Australia voiced concerns about the potential for the conflict to turn into another genocide and urged the government to condemn Azerbaijan and Turkey.
