YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 28, ARMENPRESS. The deputies honored the memory of
the Sumgait victims with a minute of silence in the National Assembly.
As reports "Armenpress" the Chairman of the National Assembly of the
Republic of Armenia Hovik Abrahamyan suggested to honor the memory
of the Sumgait victims with a minute of silence before the February
28 session launch. Also he laid a heavy emphasis on the fact that
Azerbaijan still continues the policy of hatred towards the Armenians.
Among other things he noted: "The Azerbaijani xenophobia and hatred
towards the Armenians in particular resulted in the genocides
against the Armenians, which continue till now and find support on
the governmental level in Azerbaijan."
The massacre of the Armenian population in Sumgait, which is located
20 km from Baku, started on February 26, 1988. The Armenians were
attacked and killed both on the streets and in their apartments; the
silence of the Soviet authorities allowed the situation to worsen and
the violence reached its ultimate point on February 28. Those events
were largely supported by the police and government. The massacres
were unprecedented with their cruelty and inhumanity.
