Today, Concordia University’s Strategic & Diplomatic Society, and the International Relations Society, under the umbrella organization of the Political Science Student Association cancelled their event with Mr. Karim Uras, the Turkish Ambassador to Canada,
Zartonk Media reports.
The event was regarding the Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) conflict where the host Mr. Karim Uras, the Turkish Ambassador to Canada would have given a ‘unique perspective’ about the Artsakh war.
It is stated that the Quebec Armenian Student Associations (ASAs) managed to prevent Turkish Ambassador’s Conference on Nagorno-Karabakh in Concordia University.
The ASAs are proud to inform you that the event at Concordia University which was scheduled to host the Turkish Ambassador, on a matter concerning Armenian ethnic cleansing in Nagorno-Karabakh, a conflict between the Republics of Artsakh, Armenia and Azerbaijan, is cancelled. We appreciate the cancellation of the event organized by International Relations Society and the Strategic and Diplomatic Society, two subsidiaries of Concordia Political Science Students Association – PSSA.
The ASAs acknowledge the efforts made by the aforementioned organizations to rectify the errors of inviting a Turkish official to spread misinformation and propaganda on the subject, in addition to the clear armenophobia that is codified in Turkish policy.
