ArmInfo. "Sumgait" section of the web-site of the RA General
Prosecutor's Office (www.genproc.am/sumgait) has been launched
where one can get acquainted with the materials of the criminal
cases initiated on the mass killings against the Armenians of Nagorno
Karabagh in Soviet Azerbaijan at the end of 1980s and at the beginning
of 1990s.
In particular, the testimonies of the eye-witnesses, victims, their
relatives and successors, exhibit photos and documents, list of the
killed, kidnapped and missing people were placed in the site as well as
the lists of the people including the employees of the law enforcement
bodies of Azerbaijan who are accused of participating in the policy
of Armenians' mass killings in Armenian villages and implementing
the vandalism against the Armenians and are being searched now.
According to the web-site, the works of creating the electronic archive
of the materials started about a year ago in September 2009 and include
several thousand documents. The archive was developed together with
the NGO "Xenophobia Prevention Initiative" and a number of volunteers,
and the web-site was created by programmer Aram Mkhitaryan.
The web-site will be supplemented with the materials of the criminal
cases, documents as well as new sections. In particular, "Baku"
section will be added in the near future including the application
and testimonies of Armenian refugees from Baku about the ferocities
against the Armenians in the capital of Azerbaijan Baku.
It is necessary to mention that the testimonies are partially shortened
as according to the materials of the criminal cases the mass killings
against the Armenians were organized by the law enforcement bodies
of Azerbaijan as well who warned the population not to shelter and
hide their Armenian neighbors by threatening to revenge, and taking
into consideration the fact that in separate cases the Armenians
managed to survive with the support and help of their Azerbaijani
and Russian neighbors, the exact addresses of the Armenians and the
names of the Azerbaijanis who helped them are not publicized for their
security. The peak of Sumgait massacre committed by Azeris fell on
27-29 Feb 1988. Dozens of Armenians were killed, hundreds received
serious injuries and became disabled, Armenian girls and women were
raped, over two hundred Armenian apartments were robbed, dozens of
cars were set on fire and broken, thousands of refugees were reported.
