WREATH TO COMMEMORATE SUMGAIT VICTIMS
21 years ago, in 26-28 February, 1988 Azeri perpetrators conducted a
massacre over the local peaceful Armenians. Today, in the morning the
members of Armenian Revolutionary Federation Dashnaktsutyun,
representative of the ARF, National Assembly Deputy Armen Rustamyan,
writer Zori Balayan, eye witnessed gathered at the moment
commemorating the memory of Sumgait victims and put wreaths on it.
Armen Rustamyan said that it is already 21 years Azerbaijan remains
unpunished and currently it is obvious that `lying in the
international organizations is easier than telling the truth.'
`Azerbaijan has turned over the events. Sumgait events are the
evidence to the fact where those crimes started, and that people of
Nagorno Karabakh have right of self determination in their own
territories,' said Armen Rustamyan. Roman Ghambaryan, who is the head
of the group defending the rights of Sumgait Armenians and an eye
witnessed of those events, tells about the day when they lost their
father.
'There were 20 thousand Armenians. Many died in `third micro'
region. When they started to break into houses, they invaded into
ours. On 28 February at 6 o'clock the crowd attacked our building. My
father, mother, brother and me were keeping the door but they broke it
and entered. We were fighting but we could not save our father, he was
seriously injured. The next day when they came we found a shelter at
our neighbor's house,' he told.
The real facts of Sumgait massacre should be presented in many
international organizations as the Azeri try to distort the facts.
