MONSTROUS CRIME HAS GOT NO ESTIMATION

January 13, 2010 is the 20th anniversary of the Armenian pogroms in
Baku, which had become the direct and logical continuation of the
massacre of Armenians in February 1988 in another Azerbaijani city -
Sumgait reputed to be "international".
The unpunished evil was repeated, still on an expanded scale. The
January 13-19, 1990 massacre in Baku, with the use of the most brutal
and subtle methods of killing people, completed the ethnic cleansing
of the Azerbaijani capital from Armenians - representatives of one of
the state-constituting nations of the country, a nation representing
the pride and fame of Baku. Thousands of Armenians in Baku deceased or
became handicapped, and hundreds of thousands became refugees. Mainly
children, old people, and women became victims of the really fascist
atrocities.
The Armenian issue was resolved via the experienced Turkish tool -
genocide, with the connivance of the central Soviet authorities,
with the silent consent and participation of the Azerbaijani SSR
leadership. And while the Soviet troops "were late" for 3 hours in
Sumgait, they "were late" for a whole week in Baku, entering the city
only when actually no Armenians were left there.
The monstrous crime in Baku hasn't got any political, legal or moral
estimation so far. The very fact of the Azerbaijani authorities'
concealment of the atrocities against Armenians is outrageous
cynicism. The lack of even a shadow of repentance, moreover, the
increasing threats towards the Armenian people confirm that "bakus",
"sumgaits", and "kirovabads" are still on the agenda of Azerbaijan's
official policy. And all this is witnessed by the international
community, which probably isn't going to take lessons from the past -
as just the connivance of the international community made possible
the bloody bacchanalia, which covered the whole territory of the
AzSSR and achieved its peak in January 1990 in Baku.
The Armenian pogroms in Baku are one of the convincing grounds for
the impossibility of Nagorno Karabakh(Artsakh) Republic's being part
of Azerbaijan.
The atrocities towards Armenians, which were systematically organized
by the Azerbaijani authorities during the whole 20th century, emphasize
once again the rightness of the Artsakh people struggling for freedom
and defense of its primordial rights.
