/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Ministry of Education is organizing a special
lesson in Armenia’s comprehensive schools to provide school-children
with full information on 1990 Armenian pogroms in Baku, according
to Narine Hovhannisyan, Head of Comprehensive Education Department
at RA Ministry of Education and Science. "The lessons are scheduled
for January 13-19" she told Tuesday a news conference.
The Armenian pogrom in Baku was part of Azerbaijani authorities’
anti-Armenian program calculated to bring about the destruction of
the town’s Armenian population. The seven-day pogroms perpetrated by
Azerbaijani SSR broke out on January 13, 1990, leaving 300 Armenians
dead. The real number of victims remains unclear to date.
