<br />Orozco, Norma <br />From:Anona Mouse <ocknowjusticeknowpeace@gmail.com> <br />Sent:Tuesday, October 20, 2020 11:29 AM <br />To:eComment <br />Subject:Stand with Armenia <br />Hello, <br />I’m writing to encourage the members of the Council to join Councilman Penaloza and take a stand alongside <br />the Armenian-American community by denouncing the attacks on Armenians by Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan is <br />responsible for launching an unprovoked war on Artsakh - backed by Turkey and foreign jihadists - that <br />intentionally and deliberately targets civilians. <br />Left unchecked, Turkey and Azerbaijan (with a combined population of 100 million) will complete the work of <br />the Armenian Genocide, the systematic destruction of the world's first Christian nation, a proud modern <br />democracy of just three million people struggling to survive on the frontier of world freedom. <br />Over the last 3 weeks the Armenian community has been living a nightmare as they helplessly watched <br />Azerbaijan with the support of Turkey and the apparent use of Islamic State mercenaries launch full scale <br />attacks against the civilian population of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) and the Republic of Armenia. Two <br />humanitarian ceasefires have been negotiated and then flippantly violated by Azerbaijan. The Armenian <br />community is worried about the safety and security of their family and friends in Armenia. My fellow Armenian <br />community members and I are calling on you to take a strong moral stance on this issue without equivocation. <br />Sincerely, <br />Patrick C. <br />1 <br />
