    A group of 8 Canadian-Armenians finished the 72-hour hunger-strike
    before in front of Turkish Consulate in Toronto, reports Asbarez.

    The demonstrators protested against violations of human rights by
    Turkish government, emphasizing the denial of Armenian Genocide,
    suppression of freedom of speech and press, continuous occupation of
    Cyprus and oppression of national minorities.

    The hunger strike ended with an official demonstration on June
    13. The demonstrators sent the newly elected Turkish officials
    a message stating that Canadians and the international community
    will not remain silent observers when Turkish government denies its
    citizens their fundamental rights and campaigns for the denial of
    the Armenian Genocide.
