In Los Angeles, the most Armenian-populated city in the United States, the Armenian community held a peaceful protest in front of the Turkish Consulate.

Before reaching the consulate, the representatives of the Armenian community held a march under the slogan "Artsakh [(Nagorno-Karabakh)] Under Attack: March for Victory," abc7 reported.

All the leading American media outlets covered this Armenian demonstration, noting that its participants were very peaceful.

The demonstrators were waving Armenian flags and raising signs, some of which read “Armenia wants peace,” “Artsakh is Armenia” and “Turkey guilty of war crimes,” KTLA 5 reported.

“In coming together today as a community, we’re hoping to demonstrate, through this great show of solidarity, is the need for the international community to act, the need for the international community to condemn Azerbaijan and Turkey’s aggression and to immediately place sanctions on Turkey and Azerbaijan and all military assistance to those two countries,” Alex Galitsky of the Armenian National Committee of America said.
