Canada Will Continue to Pressure Azerbaijan, Says Foreign Minister

Recently, official political communications took place between the Armenian National Committee of Canada and Canada's Minister of Foreign Affairs Melanie Joly. This was reported by the Central Office of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation Bureau.

Commenting on the Armenia-Azerbaijan negotiation process, Minister Joly specifically noted, “Canada will continue to pressure Azerbaijan to engage in negotiations and to resolve the conflict with Armenia through peaceful and political means, respecting the Helsinki principles, releasing arbitrarily detained Armenian prisoners, respecting Armenia's territorial integrity, and refraining from using force and threatening rhetoric.”

The Armenian National Committee of Canada continues to actively work within its political priorities with representatives of both the legislative and executive branches of the Canadian government.
