A conference dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the Armenian
massacres in Baku was held at the Armenian National Academy of
Sciences today. Journalist Marina Grigoryan's documentary titled
"Baku: January 1990: Ordinary Genocide" was presented.
Member of the Public Council of Armenia Vladimir Movsisyan considers
that the events that took place in Baku 20 years ago were the
continuation of Azerbaijan's policy towards Armenians it had been
carrying out ever since 1905.
According to Vladimir Movsisyan, we witnessed the most brutal
expressions of that policy in Sumgayit, Gandzak and Baku.
Director of the History Institute of the National Academy of Sciences
Ashot Melkonyan considers that having celebrated victory on the
battlefield, the Armenian side consigned to oblivion the necessity
of a victory on the field of propaganda. As a result, Azerbaijan
presentes the events of 1990 as a genocide against Azeris perpetrated
by Armenians.
