OFFICIAL COPY OF THE NEW YORK SENATE RESOLUTION 3784 RECOGNIZING AZERBAIJANI GENOCIDE
Dear Azerbaijani- and Turkic-Americans,
We are pleased to inform that AAC has received an official copy of the New York State Senate resolution 3784the first-ever legislative recognition of the Azerbaijani Genocide – that also designated March 31 as Azerbaijani Remembrance Day in the State of New York. The resolution 3784, introduced by State Senator James Alesi of Rochester, New York (NY-55th district) and adopted in the Senate as a result of efforts by the members of Azerbaijan Society of America and Azerbaijani-American Council, details the facts of horrific massacres committed by Bolshevik and Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnak party) forces led by Stepan Shaumyan against Azerbaijani civilians in March 1918 and designates these acts as a genocide.
