1988-90s Massacres in Azerbaijan must be recognized as Genocide

“Events in Azerbaijan’s capital of Baku happened 20 years ago is nothing but the Genocide. There is not any other determination for what happened,” told Aysor’s correspondent chairman of ‘Return to Hyke’ Social Organisation, Robert Melik-Pashayev.

Deported from Azerbaijan Armenians will receive neither contribution, according to Robert Melik-Pashayev. “Who will compensate? Azerbaijan will not compensate, while our people and government remain silent. Our organisation gives to the world that Armenians left more than 100,000 houses in Baku. Moscow government has investigated and approved that there took place massacres, marauding, and larceny. There are confirming documents at state archives. Azerbaijan’s government must appear in court,” he said.

Armenia’s government can apply to Russian archives for cases of those years to recognize those massacres and deportations against Armenian population in Azerbaijan as Genocide, according to Melik-Pashayev. The public man also pointed that those Azerbaijanis who lived in Armenia never become victims of massacres and deportations while the Armenian community of Azerbaijan became the victim of atrocious and intolerable premeditated massacres.
