DAYS OF SORROW
U.S. newspaper publishes letter on Black January tragedy
Washington, January 22 (AZERTAC). The Wisconsin State Journal published a letter covering the Black January tragedy. The letter by the U.S. citizen of Azerbaijani origin Nazaket Hasani gives briefs the readers on the military aggression of Soviet troops against Baku on the night of 19 to 20 January, 1990 and the massacre of civilians.
The letter also says that the military aggression against Azerbaijan took place following the similar attacks against Kazakhstan and Georgia, as well in Lithuania, although the severity of the January tragedy can be considered as the most flagrant violation of human rights and the biggest example of "collective punishment" of the population by the USSR Communist Party.
In her letter, Nazaket Hasani urges the American citizens to join the campaign initiated by the U.S. Azeris Network and honor the victims of the Baku tragedy.
