Dear friends and members of our community,
This is another reminder and a few house-keeping notes for the peaceful protest that we are attending tomorrow.
Quick facts:
When: Saturday July 25, 4-6pm
Where: Vancouver Art Gallery 750 Hornby St, Vancouver, BC V6Z 2H7
What to bring: Surgical masks, Azerbaijani / Turkish / Canadian flags or any other flags that represent countries standing with Azerbaijan
Possible poster slogans: “Karabakh is Azerbaijan”, “Justice for Karabakh”, “Justice for Azerbaijan”, “Stop Armenian Aggression”, “Stop Armenian Vandalism”, “Stop Armenian Terrorism”.
Now, for the house keeping items.
Please respect all the health and safety regulations recommended by the province of British Columbia. This includes social distancing and wearing masks in gatherings of such.
There have been concerns regarding the safety due to the incidents that happened in LA. Vancouver Police Department has been contacted, and they have assured us that there are no other protests organized by Armenians on that day. They will provide a few officers just like for any protest, and if anything does happen, they can deploy more units to the protest area within 3 minutes. We just need to call 911 right away.
On a similar note, it is vital with the utmost importance that we maintain our integrity and remain calm at all times. Even if there were any Armenian aggressor(s) trying to provoke us. We need to remember that they want this, they want to provoke us, they want us to react so they can paint us as the violent bunch in the international media. So, please, please, do not be provoked under any circumstances. We will just say our bits in peace, raise our flags and show our solidarity to our nation and army!
