Stepanakert, regional council’s decision to withdraw Karabakh from
Azerbaijan and integrate into Soviet Armenia etc,’ head of Shoushi
foundation Bakur Karapetyan told journalists on Feb. 27.

According to him, these actions made Azerbaijani side to resort to
massacres against Armenian population in Sumgait. `If Azeris have an
opportunity, they will do the same today,’ Karapetyan stated, adding
that Khojali events were organized by Azeris to screen Sumgait crime.

`As a TV reporter I took the camera and went to Sumgait, where I
talked to massacres’ victims and witnesses. The whole information is
included in &`¦And about it’ a book and in &`Sumgait waves’ film,’
Karapetyan said.

He maintained that the book remarks his 8-day observations taken at
the scene, assuring that all are based on true stories. `All shots of
film and 100 videos are captured in hot spots,’ he stated. Karapetyan

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
