Heads of religious communities in Azerbaijan have appealed to the world religious leaders, parliaments and international organizations in connection with March 31 – Day of Genocide of Azerbaijanis.

Musa Gasimli:…The peak of the genocide committed against Azerbaijanis took place in March 1918 in Baku. The genocide was later continued in other regions. Within a few days, civilian people were brutally killed by the Bolsheviks and Armenian Dashnaks just because they were Turkic Muslims.

… Turkish people have been suffering from the physical and moral terror, occupation and massacre policy of Armenian extreme nationalists for over 100 years. To justify their territorial claims against neighboring countries and their policy of ethnic cleansing, the Armenian extreme nationalists refer to the so called genocide allegedly committed by Ottoman Empire in 1915.
