    NKR NATIONAL ASSEMBLY CALLS ON INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY TO QUALIFY
    MASSACRES IN SHUSHI IN 1920 AS GENOCIDE COMMITTED BY AZERBAIJAN

    STEPANAKERT, MARCH 24, NOYAN TAPAN. The NKR National Assembly condemns
    the massacres of the Armenian population of Shushi and adjacent
    areas on March 23, 1920, and calls on the international community to
    qualify this bloody event of ethnic annhilation as a crime committed
    by Azerbaijan against humanity - a genocide. In a statement adopted
    on the 85th anniversary of the tragic event, the Artsakh parliament
    underlines that "this heinous crime that took over 30 thousand lives
    was organized and committed by the legal predecessor of the current
    Republic of Azerbaijan - the authorities of the Democratic Republic of
    Azerbaijan with the direct assistance of a Turkish dispatch corps." The
    NKR National Assembly notes that this mass crime was perpetrated in
    breach of a provisional agreement between the Armenian National Council
    of Karabakh that became an independent administrative and political
    unit and the Democratic Republic of Azerbaijan, according to which
    an acceptable solution of the problem of the territory's legal status
    must be solved by the countires that won in World War I at the Paris
    Peace Assembly. The NKR parliament points out that as a matter of fact,
    "the the March, 1920, massacre of the Armenian population of Shushi was
    continued, in various forms and by various means of ethnic cleansing,
    in all subsequent years of Nagorno Karabakh's forced existence as
    part of Azerbaijan and ended with a mass displacement of the remaining
    part of the city's Armenian population in 1988."
