Об этом сообщили во вторник Trend в Азербайджанском обществе Америки.

Согласно резолюции, 31 марта объявлен Днем памяти азербайджанцев.

Резолюция подписана членом ассамблеи, представителем партии демократов Томасом Гиблом и вручена председателю Азербайджанское общество Америки (ASA) Томрис Азери.

В резолюции говорится, что события, в результате которых в марте 1918 года были убиты более 20 тысяч мирных азербайджанцев, являются одним из самых осуждаемых зверств в истории человечности.

В марте 1918 года дашнаки, захватившие власть, совершили во главе со Степаном Шаумяном беспощадный акт геноцида в отношении азербайджанского народа. Согласно указу, подписанному в 1998 году общенациональным лидером Гейдаром Алиевым, ежегодно 31 марта отмечается День геноцида азербайджанцев. Согласно информации Института истории Национальной Академии наук Азербайджана (НАНА), в 1918 году в течение нескольких дней, начиная с 24 марта, на территории Азербайджана подверглось геноциду 700 тысяч человек, были полностью уничтожены 75 шамахинских, 122 губинских, 115 зангезурских сел.

В Сиязаньском районе Азербайджана скончалась одна из 3 девочек, упавших 20 марта в костер, сложенный по случаю праздника Новруз.

Hello.

  My name is Sevinj, but everyone calls me Seva J.I’m exchange student from Azerbaijan. Now I live in St. Oregon, in small and very cold town Klamath Falls. I never had that much snow in my country but I really enjoy it, it’s cool because it is different. I have one of the best families ever. My mom is the sweetest lady. Dad loves having fun. I also have 2 sisters, they are amazing. We are always trying to spend more time together, having fun, doing something. Going the place where I have never seen (p.s.Of course I have never seen this place as it’s my first time in America. Lol ;)) There are lots of holidays which I don’t have in my country.. as Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas e.t.c. My family is doing everything for me to have a good experience on American holidays. On Thanksgiving we went to Seattle. We had great time. All family members came together and as a tradition everyone brings something. We also went to Zoo. It was my dream to see Penguins. I was so happy. I loved this holiday. J Christmas was amazing. First time in my life I was sitting on Santa’s Lap, he was asking me if I was a good girl. J I got lots of presents on this Holiday. Btw in my country New Year is really big holiday. My sisters and me dressed up and went out on Ney Year evening; everyone was looking at as like we are crazy. Lol. Now I want to talk a little bit about school. Mostly everyone knows me there. Of course Mrs. Palmer exchange daughter J I made Honor Grand Roll this semester. I was really happy about it. In January I went to San-Francisco for International Network Hour which was organized by Aya/Aifs. I had an opportunity to meet exchange students from all over the world. We had great time. I made lots of friends there. Hopefully we’ll meet each other again. We make a wish on the shore of river to meet each other again and threw coins into the river.

  In a few months I am going back to my country. I wish I can have this opportunity again. I’m having great experiences in America as exchange student. I love this country, people over there. Thanks everyone who gave me this opportunity.
