Canadian Greeks and Armenians with joined declaration Urge Top Canadian Defence Manufacturers to Refrain from Selling Arms to Turkey and Azerbaijan
From Horizonweekly.ca:
The Joint Efforts of the CANADIAN HELLENIC CONGRESS, the Armenian National Committee of Canada and the Serbians concerning the issue of Vandalism of the Temple of HAGIA SOPHIA, by the Turkish Government, were brought to the attention of various foreign Media and we mention them!
From The Christian Post:
From Canada, the silence from official sources has been ear-splitting to say the least. Some civil society organizations are urging Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Foreign Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne to take swift action.
“We have sent a letter to the Prime Minister to get on the world stage and send a clear message to Turkey that this is not acceptable, and that Turkey must abide by UNESCO rules since the Hagia Sophia is a world heritage site,” Dr. Theodore Halatsis President of the Canadian Hellenic Congress told Convivium.
Halatsis added that more letters demanding action and co-signed by other organizations such as the Armenian National Committee of Canada are on their way to the Canadian government and to Audrey Azoulay, the director general of UNESCO.
The Canadian government should make this issue a high priority, and work with like-minded members of the international community to reach an acceptable compromise with Turkey.
If Minister Champagne and the bureaucrats at Global Affairs take the lead in crafting a response that gives President Erdogan room to reverse his decision without obviously bowing to international pressure, it would be an achievement worthy of the best Pearsonian diplomacy.
The opportunity to sustain Hagia Sophia as a jewel of inter-faith relations is also a chance for Canada to shine again on the world stage.
