The Armenian community of Germany, which closed the road leading to the port of Hamburg today with the demand for recognition of Artsakh’s (Nagorno-Karabakh) independence and condemnation of Azerbaijani aggression, succeeded in calling the attention of the country’s leading media outlets to the current situation on the line of contact of Artsakh and Azerbaijan.

“German newspapers and television stations weren’t really touching upon the current situation on the border and weren’t talking about Turkey’s assistance and the terrorist mercenaries. We held this demonstration so that not only Germany, but also the whole world knows about the issue of the Armenians. We will hold similar demonstrations in the future,” Sargis Vardanyan, one of the organizers, told Armenian News-NEWS.am, noting that the participants of the demonstration screamed “Stop Genocide”, “Erdogan Terrorist” and “Aliyev Terrorist”.

Vardanyan said 250-300 German-Armenians participated in the demonstration held between 5 a.m. and 9 a.m.

Today hundreds of Armenians closed down major roads in various cities across Europe with the demand for recognition of Artsakh’s independence.
