    Armenia

    At today's press-conference members of Initiative for Prevention
    of Chauvinism (IPC) announced the ongoing works with the materials
    of criminal cases on the mass ferocity and violence conducted in
    Azerbaijan against Armenians in late 1980s.

    "These cases will be put on public display. These materials can
    shed light on many developments we didn't know about," said Tigran
    Kocharyan, one of the founders of IPC.

    IPC's representative Samvel Martirosyan who is responsible for
    digitization, in his turn, said they had studied 36 parts of readings
    of people survived then. "Work has just begun, site will launch
    soon and will be continuously updated," he said adding that some
    extra facts would be given to the world. In particular, Sumgait
    events archive reveals participation of Azerbaijan's leaders and
    authorities in organization of mass ferocity and violence against
    Armenians in Azerbaijan.

    Mass ferocity and heinous violence against Armenians who lived
    in Azerbaijani Sumgait town left more than hundred people dead in
    late 1980s.
