YEREVAN, AUGUST 16, ARMENPRESS. Demonstrators in Los Angeles, California rallied outside the consulates-general of France and China and the British consul’s residence demanding the countries to take action at the forthcoming UN Security Council meeting on Nagorno-Karabakh to end the blockade and prevent genocide.

The demonstrators called on France, China and the UK to vote in favor of stopping the genocide in Nagorno-Karabakh.

One of the demonstrators, Davit Mnatsakanyan, said he expects the main actors to force Azerbaijan to open the Lachin Corridor.

“There’s already a case of fatal starvation in Artsakh, we can’t be idle in this situation,” Mnatsakanyan said.

He said the demonstrators would also protest outside the Azeri consulate.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
