YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 27, NOYAN TAPAN. Representatives of the Social
Democrat Hunchakian Party "Sargis Tkhruni" student’s-youth
union held a march on February 27 with "Azeris’ armament is Axe,"
"Sumgayit is continuation of 1915" and other similar slogans. They
moved from the Yerevan State University towards to the European
Union Armenian Office, then towards the Embassy of Great Britain
to Armenia. It is particularly said in the statement addressed to
employees of the EU Armenian Office and the Embassy of Great Britain:
the Azerbaijani furious mob, allowed by the country heads, massacred
and killed Armenians living in the city, robbed their property, raped
Armenian girls and women on February 27-29, 1988, in Sumgayit. 19
years passed after those cases, but the event has not been given
political estimation by today. We demand that this phenomenon is
given a political estimation as not giving a political estimation is
a greater genocide."
Narek Galstian, the head of the "Sargis Tkhruni" student’s union
mentioned that, particularly, England has always coldly responded
the Armenian Genocide problems and neglectly related to "our
national problems." But, in his words, every Armenian’s duty is to be
consistent in the affair of international recognition of both Armenian
Genocide, and Sumgayit and Baku massacres. "We call on international
organizations to recognize the Sumgayit massacres to get rid of new
Sumgayits," N.Galstian said.
