Rally calls for Azerbaijan to end blockade as Armenians plan major rally on Monday

A rally seeking an immediate end to Azerbaijan's blockade of the Lachin Corridor was held on Sunday evening outside the Azerbaijan Consulate in Brentwood.

A rally seeking an immediate end to Azerbaijan's blockade of the Lachin Corridor was held on Sunday evening outside the Azerbaijan Consulate in Brentwood in connection with Monday's 108th anniversary of the start of the events that are widely viewed by scholars as the first genocide of the 20th century.

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Burbank, who spoke at Sunday's rally, was among the authors of a resolution condemning the blockade and encouraging the United States and the international community to petition the United Nations Security Council and other appropriate international bodies to investigate any possible war crimes committed by Azerbaijani forces.

The rally was being organized by Unified Young Armenians, which is also organizing an "Armenian Genocide Commemorative Rally for Justice" at 10 a.m. Monday at the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Western Avenue in Little Armenia.
