    A three-day slaughter in Azerbaijani city of Sumgait killed numerous
    Armenians, many were burned alive, whipsawed, subjected to refined
    tortures, women and girls were raped, said U.S.

    congressman on Armenian issues Adam Schiff, calling not to bury the
    events occurred 21 years ago in oblivion, Radio Liberty says.

    "As a result of massacres thousands of ethnic Armenians were
    displaced. For the sake of their lives they were forced to abandon
    everything: homes, jobs and flee," Schiff stated.

    According to him, many heads for these "anti-Armenian events" were
    not only unpunished in Azerbaijan, but even continue holding their
    senior positions in the country's government.

    "Despite all Azeris' attempts to conceal these facts, survived
    Armenians told the truth. When people tried to flee and pull through
    assaulters of Azeris' groups, they were attacked by metallic rods,
    scissors and hatchets. According to the witnesses, defense ministry
    forces were watching all this without interfering and keeping out of
    the developments.

    This April 24 is the 95th anniversary of Armenian Genocide. In this
    regard Schiff declared: "Just as we cannot allow the first genocide
    of 20th century be buried in oblivion, same way victims of Sumgait
    events can be forgotten."
