Tuesday,October 18
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, the
Armenian Genocide Museum - Institute reports.
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 planned 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.
