Today the participants of the train condemning the massacres of the
Armenians in Baku came to Tsitsernakaberd memorial to incense the
memory of the innocent victims of 1990 January.

20 years ago on January 19 the Soviet Army entered Baku were the
local Armenians were being massacred for many days already. Today
the people once again go to Tsitsernakaberd memorial and put flowers
for the memory of the victims of the pogroms, they put candles and
burn incense.

"Not punishing for the crimes will give birth to other crimes too. The
whole world should know that to the legal demand of the Armenians
of Karabakh the vandals answered with the genocide of the peaceful
people", – Edward Sharmazanov, the secretary of the ARP said.

Hayk Demoyan the director of the Genocide museum – institute mentioned
that there are more documentary sources and facts about Sumgait than
about the Baku massacres, however those documentaries exist and if
there is will they can be checked, but for that governmental policy
will be needed.

"Everything now is based on oral stories; the refugees tell as
witnesses but we first of all need governmental documentaries", –
Hayk Demoyan said and added that at present the Baku Massacres are
studied by private scientists.

On the train participated RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan, Mayor of
Yerevan Gagik Beglaryan, members of Government, political and social
dealers, witnesses that were forced to leave Azerbaijan for Armenia,
and people that had simply come to honor the Armenians killed during
the Baku massacres.
