The Democratic Party of Armenia made a statement on the demolition
of the monument to the 26 commissars in Baku, who had been executed
on September 20, 1918. The ashes were reburied in a cemetery on one
of the suburbs of the capital of Azerbaijan.
The statement of the Democratic Party of Armenia holds that the
vandalism of the Azerbaijani government is an intended action by the
government, since the leaders of the Commune were Armenians. Moreover,
due to the anti-Armenian propaganda, the monument was viewed as
one to the Armenian invaders, and the clash of the Bolshevists and
Musavatists in March 1918 was presented as the plot of the Armenians
of Baku against the Azerbaijani population.
The Democratic Party of Armenia urges the Armenian government to use
diplomatic and political means to rebury the ashes of Stepan Shahumyan
and the other commissars in Armenia.
