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.
