Being Armenian in Azerbaijan was a death sentence. the 35th anniversary of the Baku pogroms is coming to an end

On January 13, 1990, the pre-planned and organized pogroms of the city's Armenian population began and continued for a week. The Azeri mob, with the government's encouragement and permission, attacked the Armenians at predetermined addresses. Hundreds of Armenians were beaten, robbed and killed. He writes about this"Geghard"the scientific-analytical fund.

The exact number of Armenians killed during the massacres is not known, but it reaches several hundreds. In Baku, where more than 200 thousand Armenians lived as of 1988, after the pogroms of 1990, there were no more Armenians left.

On January 13-19, 1990[1] a massacre and deportation of the Armenian population was carried out in Baku, during which the "People's Front of Azerbaijan" (People's Front) party and the authorities acted jointly.

After the multi-thousand rally in Baku on January 13, the demonstrators, chanting anti-Armenian slogans "If we want, we will make a second Ararat from the heads of Armenians", "Armenians, get out", "Death to Armenians[2]", invaded the apartments, shops and workplaces of Armenians. According to eyewitnesses, the crowd threw residents from their balconies, burned them alive, raped, tortured, dismembered and tortured girls and women. "I saw how they threw a woman down from the 9th floor," Arif Yunusov, a famous Azerbaijani political refugee and political scientist, later testified.

"I personally witnessed when two Armenians were killed not far from the railway station. The gathered crowd poured gasoline on them and set them on fire, and two hundred meters away was the militia station of Nasim district, where there were 400-500 soldiers of the internal forces, who drove past those charred corpses with a car about 20 meters away. No one tried to disperse the crowd," Etibar Mammadov, one of the leaders of the People's Front, would say days later.

Already on the third day of the massacre, in the issue of January 15, 1990, the "Los Angeles Times" wrote: "Men, women and children, both young and old, were attacked and often killed for being Armenian. Being Armenian in Azerbaijan was a death sentence."

Due to hiding the facts and not raising them, the number of Armenians who were killed in Baku and died as a result of pogroms is still not accurate.

"They (ed.: Armenians) were evacuated from Baku in January 1990, after the pogroms planned against them"[3], Bill Frelik, the chairman of the Committee on Refugee Affairs, later stated during the hearings of the US Senate (February 12, 2002).

The leadership of the USSR did not take any steps to protect the Armenian population of Baku. A state of emergency was declared in Baku only on January 19, when there was a real threat to the existence of Soviet power in Azerbaijan.

The Armenian pogroms in Baku in 1990 were no less brutal than the Sumgait crime in 1988. Crimes against the peaceful population were repeated in Artsakh in 2023. The civilized handwriting of Baku was the same at the beginning of the 20th century, at the end of the 20th century, and in the 21st century.
