YEREVAN (Public Radio of Armenia) ”” Today, we remember the massacre of Armenians in Baku that started on this day 26 years ago. Those guilty for the events of 1990 have not been punished and the exact number of victims still remains unknown. What’s obvious, however, is that the real number considerably exceeds the official data.

The events in Baku 26 years ago were a real genocide committed against the Armenian population. Dozens of Armenians were killed in Baku between January 13 and 20. They were robbed of their property and exiled.

“More than a quarter of century after the massacre, the events have not been properly assessed,”
