of Sumgait of which tens of innocent Armenians became victims, Arminfo

Complex of the city of Stepanakert and laid flowers and wreaths to the
memorial of the victims of the tragedy. The NKR official delegation
headed by Republic President Arkady Ghukasian came to pay tribute
to the victims of the pogroms. "Sumgait has proved that an Armenian
cannot live in Azerbaijan - the Azeri statehood is dangerous for the
Armenian nation. Sumgait was the beginning: after Sumgait there were
Baku, Kirovabad, Maraga... And the life has proved that our choice
was right - were were to create a state, to defend our fatherland. I
am sure that Sumgait the options suggested by Azerbaijan today are
unreal and absurd, as Sumgait is not a case of individuals, but it is
the Azeri state policy,?", - this is how NKR President a. Ghukasian
commented on the events in Sumgait. Leader of the Artsakh Diocese of
the Armenian Apostolic Church Pargev Martirosian has served a liturgy
for the repose of the souls of the victims of the Sumgait tragedy.
