Azeri-Turkish Diasporas in the USA have embarked a new campaign and send letters to U.S congressmen over anniversary of the 20 January Tragedy in Azerbaijan. The Diaspora members called congressmen to observe a minute of silence commemorate January tragedy victims and issue on official statement.
According to SIA, the letters read: "On the night of January 19-20, 1990, Azerbaijan was invaded by Soviet troops. 170 Azerbaijani were killed, 321 disappeared, more then 700 injured. In report titled "Black January in Azerbaijan" Human Rights Watch put the events into a large perspective: "The violence used by the Soviet Army on the night of January 19 to 20 was so out of proportion to the resistance offered by Azerbaijanis as to constitute an exercise in collective punishment."
