A FAMILY AND A HISTORIAN - THE ONLY ONES TO REMEMBER THE SUMGAIT

Social

A family that fled Sumgait in 1988 and a historian are the only ones that recalled today the tragic events of Sumgait when 32 Armenians were killed, many Armenians were heavily injured.

If the Sumgait got the right appreciation in time, then no further atrocities would be comitted, says Hrayr Ulubabyan, the head of former group engaged in protection of rights of Armenians from Sumgait.

For several times historians have asked the National Assembley of RA to be the first to recognize the events of Sumgait, Baku and Gandzak as genocide. No answer to the suggestion has been delivered yet.
