    The Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute presents a unique website
    covering the social, cultural and business life of the Armenian
    community in Baku now also in Azerbaijani. The creations of the
    Azerbaijani version of the website were supported by the numerous
    letters and wide responses that followed the launching of the website.

    The website has been completed with new materials, such as shares of
    the Armenian oil companies of Baku, photos, postcards, etc.

    About 70.000 users, who visited four-language website Baku.am since
    its presentation, have a great opportunity to get acquainted with
    the history of the Armenian community in Baku, their heritage and fate.

    Hundreds of photographs, illustrations and post cards demonstrate
    the history of Armenian families, Armenian buildings, and Armenian
    press issued in Baku, publishing, advertisements and generally the
    history of Armenian cultural existence in Baku.

    Separate section is dedicated to photographs and documents covering
    the Armenian massacres of 1905, 1918 and 1990 in Baku.

    The Armenian community in Baku fell victim to the genocide which
    was well planed by Azerbaijani and Turkish authorities and carried
    out in three stages. As a result, the Armenian element that made
    great contribution to the history of development of Baku city ceased
    to exist.

    At the beginning of the 20th century Baku as a large industrial center
    in the Transcaucasia region of Russian Empire had rich Armenian
    civilizational presence. The Armenians were the third large ethnic
    group after the Russians and multi-tribal Muslim population in the
    city. Nevertheless, Armenians had leading role in social, industrial
    and cultural life of the city. Due to the Armenian businessmen
    activities Baku oil industry ran up.

    The buildings constructed with the support of the Armenian businessmen
    and designed by talented Armenian architects in European architectural
    best traditions and styles so far decorate Baku, the capital city
    of Azerbaijan. The official anti-Armenian policy of Azerbaijani
    authorities doesn't tolerate any mentioning of the Armenian existence
    in Baku and of their great contribution to the history of the city.

    It should be reminded that the creation of the website was initiated
    and accomplished by the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute and "Zoom
    Graphics" company.
