ArmInfo.The ARF Youth Office of Canada organized a rally in support of Artsakh in  Vancouver.  According to the press service of the ARF Youth Council,  Minister of Health in British Columbia Adrian Dix also took part in  the protest. The meeting participants called on the Canadian  government to hold Azerbaijan accountable for the crimes against  humanity committed.

We also add that on January 15, at the initiative of the "Courir Pour  La Memoire" association, a march of solidarity with Artsakh was held  in Marseille.

According to Nouvelles d'Armenie, the march started from Missak  Manouchian Square. The protesters marched to the Paseo del Prado  Armenian Cathedral, passing by the Turkish consulate. The protesters  condemned the Azerbaijani blockade, as a result of which 120,000  Armenians living in Artsakh are suffering, and called on the  international community to take measures to unblock the Lachin  Corridor.

Since December 12, 2022, for 36 days now, the Azerbaijani side, under  a far-fetched environmental pretext, blocked the only road connecting  Artsakh with the outside world. The population of the NKR has been in  a blockade for more than a month, deprived of basic means of  subsistence.  Since January 9, Artsakh has been deprived of the  opportunity to receive electricity from Armenia, due to the  destructive actions of Azerbaijan. Rolling blackouts occur on a daily  basis in the republic. Moreover, from the afternoon of January 12,  the enemy also interrupted the communication cable providing the  population of the country with Internet-telephone connection. It was  restored only on January 14, thanks to the efforts of Russian  peacekeepers.
