'They are killing our people': the Armenian diaspora protests in Los Angeles

On Saturday, October 3, a protest action by the Armenian Diaspora took place in Hollywood. Protesters have blocked part of Sunset Boulevard, demanding more American media attention to the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, says "Voice of America".

Demonstrators also took to the motorway, partially stopping traffic for almost two hours.

“Armenia strives for peace!”, “We want justice,” - Armenians marched through Los Angeles with such slogans.

“They are killing our people, trying to take our land,” said one protester. “We’ve been fighting for it for years.” We demand an end to Azerbaijan’s aggression against Armenia.”

On the night of October 3, thousands of representatives of the Armenian community in Los Angeles gathered at the Armenian consulate in order to honor the memory of the killed compatriots in Karabakh.

Those who grieve for the dead brought candles to the walls of the consulate.

During the fighting, both sides of the conflict—Azerbaijan and Armenia—suffer losses, killing not only hundreds of soldiers, but also civilians.

The Armenian diaspora in the United States numbers hundreds of thousands of people, the community helps and supports its historical homeland in every possible way.

The Consulate General of Azerbaijan in Los Angeles issued a statement: “We want peace. But peace can only be achieved when Armenia leaves the occupied regions of Azerbaijan and allows the forcibly displaced people to return to their homes.”
