Suren Zolyan, political scientist and rector of Brusov Linguistic
Institute, thinks Karabakh conflict settlement is in deadlock. Speaking
about the violence in Baku in 1990, he said Azeries have been faking
the history for 17 years and claim that Armenians killed Azeries during
"black January." The contrary has taken place. At the decision of city
building ministry, Azeries have built a street at the place of the
Armenian cemetery in Baku. Zolyan also said the fact that Armenia does
not have refugee camps does not mean that there are no refugees here.
In the opinion of political scientist Sergei Minasyan, about 80,000
people have received citizenship of Armenia and dozens of others
have received citizenship of other ex-Soviet Union states among the
forcefully dislocated people from Azerbaijan. He said we are speaking
about some 500 thousand people if we consider also others who have
left their residential areas because of Karabakh war.
Nelli Ghukasyan, a witness of Sumgait event, tells that Azeris showed
obvious hostility to her after Sumgait. "When I entered into teachers’
room, everybody went out," she is telling. An Azeri refugee family
helped her to hide in 1990. She said Armenians took the refugees
safely to the border whereas the Azeris robbed them, beat and even
threw out of windows.
