US Azerbaijanis campaign against recognition of so-called "Armenian genocide"

The Azerbaijani Diaspora in the US has called on the DC Council member Jack Evans to not support April 24 bills raised by Armenian Diaspora this year.

"As Turkic-Americans, our families urge you to resist the requests for any proclamation or any resolution to designate April 24, or any other date, as some "Armenian genocide" day in our state. Unlike many other tragedies and massacres, the Armenian allegations of genocide are hotly contested and have been rejected by US federal courts, as well as never accepted by the UN courts", says the Diaspora’s letters.

"Hence, we should not allow our state and our nation, as well as strategic US allies, such as Turkey, to become pawns in the hands of the Armenian propaganda and its high-priced lobbyists", the Azeri Diaspora mentioned calling the DC Council member to keep their concerns in his mind.

The council member Evans has already responded the Diaspora with appreciation on its thoughts on this issue.
