Washington. Isabel Levine – APA. The statement that the Diaspora
members and USAN in particular are passing around, states that "March
31 is known as the Day of Genocide of Azerbaijanis, referring to the
tragic events that happened on March 31-April 1, 1918".

As APA was told at USAN, the statement they are spreading is based
on the opinion of a number of prominent US historians and experts.

According to APA’s Washington DC correspondent, the position of
Azerbaijani-Americans is that close to a million Azeris have been
massacred in the 20th century as the result of Armenian genocidal
campaign. "This makes for a total of 2,5 million Azeris, Turks, Kurds,
Jews, Georgians, Circassians, Tats, Talysh, Lezgins and other people
who fell victim to the Armenian policies of ethnic cleansing for the
creation of their state, which was supposed to stretch from the Black
sea to the Caspian to the Mediterranean" – the USAN statement said.
