Nagorno Karabakh Autonomous Oblast from Soviet Azerbaijan and its
transfer to Soviet Armenia. In response to that legal demand, the
Azerbaijani authorities started repressions.

authorities planned and committed massacre of the Armenian population
in Sumgait, which is provide by thousands of evidences, ArmInfo's
correspondent to Stepanakert reports.
"To conceal their criminal attitude towards not only the peaceful
Armenian population but also Azerbaijani population in Nagorny
Karabakh, the ruling elite of Azerbaijan has been speculating on
the topic 'genocide of peaceful population of Khojalu' for already
20 years.
"Basing on evidences by many witnesses of those incidents that were
recorded by journalists and international human rights organizations
and even confirmed by some Azerbaijani authors, and for the fair and
true presentation of facts, the deputy factions and group of the NKR
National Assembly declare that it is only the Azerbaijani authorities
and forces that are responsible for the violence committed with regard
to the peaceful population on Sumgait, Azerbaijan, on Feb 26029 1988
and the peaceful population in Khojalu, Askeran region of NKR on Feb
26-27," the statement reads.
The NKR parliamentarians express their commitment to peaceful
resolution of the Karabakh conflict and urge that Azerbaijani party
to "refuse the groundless and irresponsible policy of enmity and
hatred and direct efforts to creation of bases for further peaceful
coexistence of the two neighbor states and peoples."
