Reportedly the Government of Canada is investigating the matter of an equipment sold to Turkey and used in the war instigated by Azerbaijan-Turkey. The Armenian community and its friends – at all levels — are impressing upon the government to take the extra mile to use all measures to stop this senseless, devastating and unlawful war. After all Canada is a peace-loving country and not a warmonger.
Your solidarity to this effort is crucial. Please sign the petition if you have not already done so.
Thank you.

Petition to the Government of Canada
Whereas:
– On Sunday, September 27th, Azerbaijani forces, backed by Turkey, began a full-scale attack against Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh in Armenian);
– Azerbaijan launched air- and missile-attacks in all directions along the Artsakh line of contact and has expanded into Armenia;
– Armenian border towns, settlements and Stepanakert, the capital of Artsakh, are being bombarded and shelled;
– Civilian deaths, injuries and military casualties continue to rise;
– The people of Armenia and Artsakh with democratically elected governments have been defending their families, homes, and lands;
– The recent violent attacks on civilians of Stepanakert, and towns across the Armenian border, serve as reality of genocidal threat towards the Armenian nation;
– Their aim is to extinguish the democratic stronghold of the Armenian people;
– Canada approved sales of optical technology to Turkey, which are being used in drones that target civilians.
We, the undersigned, Canadians and Armenian-Canadians, call upon the Government of Canada to:
1. Take a stand for democracy in Armenia and Nagorno Karabagh (Artsakh);
2. Condemn the aggression of Turkey and Azerbaijan against Armenia and Nagorno Karabagh;
3. Request Turkey to remove itself from the conflict zone;
4. Stop all arms sales to Turkey to ensure Canada takes no part in the killings of innocent civilians;
5. Strongly denounce crimes against Armenians.
