The Armenian National Congress of Canada has called on the government to reiterate its support for the OSCE Minsk Group peace process and to condemn these attacks by Azerbaijan.

President of ANC Canada Girair Basmadjian has sent a letter to Canada's Foreign Minister Rob Nicholson pointing to the recent ceasefire violations by Azerbaijan that killed three civilian women and to the deaths of several Armenian service members. 

“ Canada’s government cannot sit silently while this conflict escalates. Prime Minister Harper has said in other instances that Canada cannot afford to sit by the sidelines while there are civilians being killed by a brutal dictatorship which does not seek peace.  Yet Canada has not raised its peaceful voice in this case. Many of Canada’s allies have already delivered forceful responses to these attacks.  The ANCC calls upon Canada to reiterate its support for the OSCE Minsk Group peace process and to condemn these attacks by Azerbaijan,” the letter reads.
