World’s Azerbaijanis Union (DAB) in Belgium has started a campaign of
letters of protest in connection with support in different countries
for so-called "Armenian genocide", the press service of the State
Committee for Work with the Diaspora said.

According to the head of DAB Adalat Guliyev, the letters of protest
under the slogan "No to H. Res 252!!!" strongly condemn the decision
of U.S. House of Representatives committee on foreign affairs dated
March 4, which recognizes the so-called "Armenian genocide", as well
as Swedish Parliament’s official recognition of so-called "Armenian
genocide" on March 11.

The letters were addressed to U.S. President Barack Obama, Vice
President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, UN Secretary
General Ban Ki-moon, the U.S. ambassador to Belgium, international
organizations, as well as every congressman and senator recognizing
and supporting the "Armenian genocide".

Together with the facts confirming the absence of such event as
"Armenian genocide" in the history, the letters contain information on
Armenia’s occupation of 20 percent of Azerbaijani territories, UN and
Council of Europe resolutions on withdrawal of armed forces of Armenia
from the occupied lands and a call to recognize Khojaly Genocide.
