Today marks the recurrent anniversary of the Armenian pogroms in Baku.
The exact number of the massacres organized 22 years ago is not
yet known. It's obvious, however, that the real number exceeds the
official data.
According to the data of the Armenian Migration Agency and the UN, 418
thousand Armenians migrated to Armenian from Azerbaijan. The passive
position of the international community has left the organizers of
the Armenian massacres in the Azerbaijani capital, whose names were
made public today by the President of the Assembly of Azerbaijani
Armenians Grigory Ayvazyan.
Armenians of Baku were the only link between Artsakh and Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijan cut this link, thus depriving itself of any rights to
lay claims on Artsakh. It was on this day 21 years ago that the mass
killing of Armenians started in the capital of a Societ country in
broad daylight, before the eyes of the world and lasted for a week.
According to Grigory Ayvazyan, the massacres were the result of joint
program of the Soviet leadership and the Azerbaijani Popular Front,
a program aimed at exiling Armenians from all over Azerbaijan and
later from Atsakh.
For the first time Grigory Ayvazyan mentioned the names of those, who
carry the main responsibility for the Armenian massacres of 1990 -
Khalil Reza, Mohammed Khatami, Neymad Panakhov and others. Instead
of being punished, these people were treated like heroes and were
appointed to high positions. According to Ayvazyan, their punishment
seems unrealistic today. The restoration of property rights of
Azerbaijani Armenians seems more probable today, he said.
