/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Azeri-perpetrated ethnic cleansings of Armenians
consisted of 3 stages, member of Armenia's Public Council Vladimir
Movsisyan finds.
"The first stage was the 1905-1918 deportation of Armenians to Baku
and Shushi. The second stage covered the Soviet years while the
third stage broke out in the 1990s, resulting in the displacement
of 389 thousand Armenian refugees who, according to official data,
left 119 houses in Azerbaijani towns," he told Tuesday a scientific
conference, adding that about 168 Azeris were officially reported to
have left for Azerbaijan in early 1990s.
"Azerbaijani side currently distorts the reality, but all facts
confirm that the crimes against Armenians constitute genocide.
Azerbaijan has proven it doesn't ensure the security of Armenians,
so those making statements on returning Karabakh to the country have
what to think about," he said.
In January 1990, Azerbaijani authorities instigated the Armenian
pogroms in Baku. Some 400 Armenians were killed and 200 thousand
were exiled in the period of January 13-19, 1990. The exact number
of those killed was never determined, as no investigation was carried
out into the crimes.
On January 13, a crowd numbering 50 thousand people divided into
groups and started "cleaning" the city of Armenians. On January 17,
the European Parliament called on EU Council of Foreign Ministers
and European Council to protect Armenians and render assistance to
Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh. On January 18, a group of U.S. Senators
sent a letter to Mikhail Gorbachev to express concerns over the
violence against the Armenian population in Azerbaijan and called
for unification of Nagorno Karabakh with Armenia.
