<br />Orozco, Norma <br />From:Lori Karaguezian <lori@karaguezian.com> <br />Sent:Monday, October 19, 2020 12:06 PM <br />To:eComment <br />Subject:October 20th Council Meeting - Agenda Item 85 C <br />Hello, <br /> <br />I'm writing to encourage the members of the Council to join Councilman Penaloza and take a stand <br />alongside the Armenian-American community by denouncing the attacks on Armenians by <br />Azerbaijan. For over 30 years, the Armenian-American community has been a stable presence in <br />Santa Ana. The Forty Martyr's Apostolic Church, the Ari Guiragos Minassian School, and the <br />Armenian Community Center located in Ward 1 attract Armenians from all around Orange County <br />to Santa Ana on a daily and weekly basis. <br /> <br />Over the last 3 weeks our community has been living a nightmare as we have helplessly watched <br />Azerbaijan with the support of Turkey and the apparent use of Islamic State mercenaries launch <br />full-scale attacks against the civilian population of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) and the Republic <br />of Armenia. Two humanitarian ceasefires have been negotiated and then flippantly violated by <br />Azerbaijan. Our community is worried about the safety and security of our family and friends in <br />Armenia. My community and I are calling on you to take a strong moral stance on this issue <br />without equivocation. <br /> <br />Thank you, <br />Lori Karaguezian <br />2310 W. Rowland Ave. <br />Santa Ana, CA 92704 <br /> <br />1 <br />
