Tigran Abrahamyan, Secretary of the National Assembly of the “I Have Honor” faction, wrote:
“38 years ago, on February 27-29, Azerbaijanis organized a massacre of Armenians in the city of Sumgait, which not only resulted in the deaths of many people, but also subjected hundreds to torture, rape, and brutal abuse. Tens of thousands of Armenians were forced to flee their homes and settlements.
Azerbaijani atrocities were systematic: organized groups, armed bandits, Armenian addresses, etc.
Azerbaijan’s genocidal behavior has not changed to this day. Moreover, Azerbaijanis are proud of what they did and regularly threaten to do the same, if necessary.
In response, the Pashinyan regime not only closed the Artsakh page, but also allows us to ignore and neglect this historical crime, tolerating Azerbaijani crimes and manifestations of hatred that threaten a repetition and even “even more terrible events.”
