The events in Azerbaijan in 1988-'92, as well as Azerbaijan's further
policy, are nothing but genocide, Armenia's former human rights
defender (ombudsman) Larisa Alaverdyan said at a press conference on
'Armenian Genocide in Azerbaijan: 25 years of crimes'.
The events in Baku and Sumgait must never be called "pogroms" or
"violence."
"That was genocide and the victims are among us. We should not look
for victims of Turkish policy alone," she said.
"The problem is that no social protection norms are in effect, and
our political elite is not yet mature to adopt such norms for the
victims to be considered victims of genocide," Ms Alaverdyan said.
Marina Grigoryan, Head of the Nothing but Genocide project implemented
by the Department of Public Relations and Mass Media, RA presidential
staff, said: "We believe that the events in Sumgait 25 years ago
had their logical continuation, with a climax throughout Azerbaijan
in 1992, when the Armenian community in Baku stopped existing. The
methods Azerbaijan used against Armenians are the same Turkey used
in 1915," Ms Grigoryan said.
