This tragic anti-Armenian massacre helped touch off a wave of anti-Armenian violence that spread to Kirovabad in November 1988 and to Baku in January 1990, which culminated in the forcible expulsion of 390,000 #Armenians from #Azerbaijan and the 1991-94 war over #Artsakh. As we remember the #SumgaitPogrom's victims, over 100,000 #Armenians in #Artsakh still face a brutal blockade by #Azerbaijan - another brazen attempt at ethnic cleansing by Baku.
