We are pleased to inform that Azerbaijani-American Council has received an official copy of the New York State Senate resolution 3784 - the 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.
