CHAPTER 1: HISTORY

THE MAIN REHEARSAL - RESETTLEMENT (1948-1953)

It cannot be named resettlement, will tell more correctly - reprisal. It, this resettlement, occurred thus. The Armenian diaspora, having taken advantage of an opportunity when in 1943 three states at the Teheran conference discussed the Soviet and Iranian attitudes, has addressed to V.Molotov, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the USSR, with the request to resolve resettlement in the USSR the Armenians living in Iran. Molotov, having discussed in the same place with Stalin, has authorized for it. In connection with resettlement of foreign Armenians to Armenia G.Arutyunov, having taken advantage of a pretext, has achieved decision-making on violent resettlement of Azerbaijanians from Armenia.

According to the newspaper «Voice of Armenia» (on November 11, 1990), the first decision about violent resettlement of Azerbaijanians from Armenia for accommodation was that Armenians living abroad was accepted in connection with M.J.Baghirov and G.E.Arutyunov's letter from December 3, 1947. In reply to this reference, the Council of Ministers of the USSR has accepted two decisions. The first, from December 23, 1947, «About resettlement from Armenian SSR collective farmers and other Azerbaijanians in the Kur-Araksin lowland of Azerbaijan SSR». This decision behind I.Stalin's signature was for Azerbaijanians the unexpected impact, open reprisal. In hastily made document without any argument, introduction and an explanation the requirement, in spite of on any expenses were put, to move all Azerbaijanians from Armenia. The second decision of the Council of Ministers of the USSR from March 10, 1948 stated a plan of measures on performance of the first decision.

The decision of the Council of Ministers of the USSR from December 23, 1947 recommended to move in 1948-1950 on a voluntary basis 100 thousand collective farmers and other Azerbaijan population, living in Armenian SSR, in the Kur-Araksin lowland of Azerbaijan SSR. Expression on «the voluntary beginnings» has been used in the decision with special the purpose. As a matter of fact, it was a real reprisal. According to the decision 10 thousand persons in 1948, thousand persons in 1949 - 40, thousand persons in 1950 – 50 should move.

Comprehensively investigating on the basis of archival documents these events, Atakhan Pashayev comes to completely true conclusion that persistence of requirements of the Center, hurried the Council of Ministers of the Azerbaijan SSR and Armenian SSR, granting of all one month of term by him for preparation of the plan of extensive actions and messages of information in the Council of Ministers of the USSR were not accidental. The main reason of similar haste was 11 items of the decision clear from last. «To allow Armenian SSR to use the Council of Ministers for accommodation the Armenians who have arrived from abroad to Armenia released structures and apartment houses of the Azerbaijan population in connection with his resettlement in the Kur-Araksin lowland of Azerbaijan SSR». All this is the historical truth. But actually performance of this decision occurred as follows. Under available information, in 1948 from Armenian SSR in Azerbaijan SSR 1799 facilities, 7747 persons have been moved. During the same period of 429 families uniting 2834 persons, subjected to various pressure, have left to Azerbaijan hurriedly, having lost each other. Thus, to autumn of 1948 the number arrived made 10.584 persons. In 1949 instead of 40.000 persons according to the decision - 15.276 persons, in 1948-1950 under the decision from Armenian SSR all it has been moved 8.018 facilities uniting 34.382 persons. Alongside with it, in the same years the Azerbaijan families (7 thousand persons) from more than 1000 facilities of Armenia have been compelled to run in various districts of Azerbaijan, having left there all public property. If to take as a whole appears, that in 1948-1953 from Armenian SSR it has violently been moved or has been compelled to leave about 150 thousand persons.

After I.Stalin's death resettlement has been decisively stopped. At this time began return process. The destiny of tens thousand people violently moved from districts of Аkhtin, Garabaghlar, Yekhegnadzor, Azizbayov and other mountain districts in the Kur- Arakhsin valley, appeared very mournful. Each third immigrant who is not got used to a new climate and not having a usual conditions of life, perished as a result of famine and illnesses. Apparently from archival documents, the part of immigrants had to live in a shed, and the some in one premise with animals. From the means of all allocated for immigrants 45-47 % have been used, apartment houses were not under construction. The big group left of Armenia has independently located in villages Gushchu and Khunushnak district of Martunin MGAR (Mountainous Garabagh Autonomous Province). The Armenian heads of district together with Armenians, heads of the Azerbaijan Commission on resettlement (Brutench, Sevumyan) under various pretexts have expelled them even from district Martunin of Azerbaijan. To any Azerbaijanians who has moved in 1948-1953 from Armenia, did not give to locate in Mountainous Garabagh.

The second tragedy of the period of resettlement for the Azerbaijanians who have arrived from Armenia, was, beginning since 1948, their returning to the native centers. In 1948-1950 to Armenia 376 facilities chairman of the Council of Ministers of Armenia S.Karapetyan (in the telegram from May, 29, 1950) has regarded a message about returning as disaster for Armenia. Actually it was tragedy for Armenia, whence Azerbaijanians have been expelled to Azerbaijan, and for compelled to come back from Azerbaijan to Armenia the Azerbaijan refugees.

And still, despite of all obstacles, within five years of 40-45 % of the survived Azerbaijanians - immigrants from Armenia have return to native places.

It is important to note one more party of process of resettlement. For accommodation of foreign Armenians eviction of Azerbaijanians from the grounds of their fathers and grandfathers was provided. On the business the purpose was to clear Armenia of Azerbaijanians. The fact, with evidence proving it: and today in territory of Armenia there are hundreds villages transformed into ruins in which Azerbaijanians lived. As it was specified on plenum of a Central Committee of Armenia in January, 1975, more than 476 villages remain unused. As Armenian nationalists per 1990 have declared even: «the Released grounds and fund in connection with resettlement of Azerbaijanians have not been used by a vein for accommodation of the Armenians who have arrived from abroad “

From all told it is possible to draw a unique conclusion: violent resettlement of Azerbaijanians from Armenia did not set as the purpose accommodation of foreign Armenians, development cotton-growing in Azerbaijan. On the contrary, its result was a policy of creation of mononational Armenian Republic, the old dream of dashnaks. But also in 1948-1953 they failed for it.

At the end of 1950 began a new stage of a survival of Azerbaijanians from Armenia. Characteristic features of this stage will be that slogans of internationalism and friendship of peoples were in words proclaimed, and opportunities of residing and development of Azerbaijanians in Armenia in practice were more and more limited.

For this purpose the following actions were carried out:

1. The moral terror carried out against intellectual forces, intelligence. It was showed first of all that in the mass order higher educational institutions existing up to this time have been closed, technical schools, press organs in the Azerbaijan language.

The Yerevan Pedagogical Institute named after Kh. Abovyan established in 1930, four faculties (the Azerbaijan language and the literature, a history, geography, physical and mathematical) the Azerbaijan sector both on day time, and on correspondence branches have been closed. And only in 1955 instead of them one Azerbaijan group consisting of 25 persons has been organized.

The Yerevan Azerbaijan pedagogical technical school which established in 1925 playing the important role in preparation of the pedagogical staff in Armenia, need in which it was at that time felt very sharply, has been closed and transferred to Hanlar district of Azerbaijan SSR.

Concrete results of similar moral terror became the following: annually Azerbaijan schools in Armenia ended on the average 5000 graduates and as to continue education in republic it was not represented possible, the most part of them has been compelled for continuation of education to leave for other republics, is especial to Azerbaijan. As young experts further graduated other higher educational institutions were not provided with work in native places and new migration of Azerbaijanians from Armenia began. To tell the truth, the statistical information on migration of Azerbaijanians from Armenia in 1950 - are absent 1980, however all know, that these years number of the families which have moved only to Azerbaijan from the Azerbaijan villages of Armenia, was twice more, than the rest there by 1988. For example, from 300 families Sheherjik village of Kafan district to 1988 year 80 families lived only in Baku and Sumgait. Such examples are hundreds.

2. Since 1960, the Azerbaijanians, working on supervising posts, have been replaced with Armenians. Without the slightest grounds the first secretaries of district committees of party Basarkechar, Krasnoselo, Garabaghlar, Zangibasar, and Vadi districts (where 75-90 % of the population are Azerbaijanians) have been released from posts, and in ten districts where Azerbaijanians lived together with the Armenians, the second or third secretaries of district committees of a party dismissing only that were Azerbaijanians. The drama theatre named after J. Jabbarli (till 1966) has been closed and the newspapers printed in the Azerbaijan language in Sisiyan, Gafan, Megrin, Garabaghlar, Vadi, Zangibasar, Kalinin, and Ijevan districts, and also a number of publishing houses have been closed at the republican ministries and the departments which printed the literature in the Azerbaijan language.

3. One of the major reasons caused a deep conflict between Armenians and Azerbaijanians, Azerbaijanians of Armenia resulted in moral terror, began celebrating in 1965 at a republican level of the 50-anniversary so-called «the Armenian genocide ». It was carried out under influence of the Armenian diaspora and not without help of A.Mikoyan. Within the whole year from the date of an pronounce of the decision and till April, 24, 1965 all mass media, publishing houses have been occupied with work in one direction - antiturkish, antiazerbaijan propagation, instigation, threats. During long years party of "Dashnaksutun" taking place in an underground these years began to operate openly. As an occasion to expansion of activity dashnak, the 50-anniversary so-called «the Armenian genocide», concurrent with the 100-anniversary from birthday of one of members dashnak has served a party, the hated enemy of Azerbaijan people, executioner Andranik. Armenia (1^st secretary of Central Committee of CP (b) Armenia was at that time J.Zorabjan) again by help of A.Mikoyan has achieved the sanction to celebrate the anniversary of Andranik.

All republican newspapers including leaving in the Azerbaijan language "Soviet of Ermenistan" have celebrated the anniversary of Andranik as hero of Armenian people (articles published without a picture, but during anniversary evening at 12 o'clock after the coordination with Moscow, the sanction to the publication of a photo of the executioner have achieved). The 400 thousand meeting which has been held in Yerevan on April, 23, 1965 in connection with the 50-anniversary of genocide, posters which there were carried, have clearly shown the purpose of this movement. On posters such inscriptions drew attention: «the Western Armenia (i.e. Anatoly) should belong to Armenia», «Mountainous Garabagh is ours», «Nakhchivan is a ground of Armenia», «Armenians, it is the time to revenge for 1915, unite!», etc. All this once again confirms, that the Garabagh Movement is not generation of reorganization as approve of kaputikyans, balayans, khandzadyans, and creation 50-60-years prescription, till 1960 working secretly, and then turned into the nationalist movement openly sowing enmity between the nations.

The first deputy of chief of the main investigatory management of Office of Public Prosecutor of the USSR V.I.Ilyukhin gives completely exact information in his interview about a history of the Garabagh movement. «We have closely engaged in investigation of activity of committee "Garabagh ". Activity of notorious committee is not harmless, as it seemed firstly too much. And «the Garabagh movement» is not a child of reorganization as try to present now it the some people. The first mentions of it concern to 1940-1950".

4. The decision of the Center on creation of national encyclopedias has been met in republics with the big satisfaction. But also here Armenia has made exception. Armenians used the edition of the encyclopedia for the even greater kindling interethnic enmity, strengthening national egoism and a national psychosis. Have begun that with on power of the Armenian lobby in Moscow increase have achieved on two volume 10-languid encyclopedia already authorized in republics. From the first volume up to the last the encyclopedia is penetrated with one main idea: Armenia - the great state, Armenians - the rare nation, they disseminated on worldwide. The genocide of 1915 has threatened the Armenian nation of disappearance. Therefore in the encyclopedia is given the brief history both existing, and all Armenian villages not existing in Turkey, and is specified, that all their population is destroyed by Turkishes. The slaughter accomplished by Armenians in Turkey, is attributed to Turkish. Any Armenian, having read article “Armenian Genocide” ("the Big slaughter»), can take the weapon and start to be at war. To understand excited at the Armenian youth hatred to Turkish, i.e. to Azerbaijanians, is enough about to read this articles of encyclopedia. In the volume, published in 1970th, about villages of Mountainous Garabagh also is written article under the name «Villages in MGAR», but their belonging to Azerbaijan is not underlined.

5. Examples spent for republic in all districts, where Azerbaijanians, divisions to a national attribute lived so many that it is impossible to list all of them here. We shall name only the some people: absence of school buildings in the Azerbaijan villages, absence of roads, the relation to Azerbaijanians as to people of the second grade. In spite of the fact that water and gas highways passed through Azerbaijan villages, Azerbaijanians could not use them, and thousand similar phenomena.

Now almost all world press, mass media of all former Union have made noise, as if in Azerbaijan, especially in Mountainous Garabagh, striking at rights of Armenians that compelled them to stir to action for clearing. It is radically incorrect. First of all the world should know, that the Garabagh movement, committee "Garabagh" have arisen not in Mountainous Garabagh. As it was already specified above, this movement which has begun in 1940^th in Yerevan, long time operated illegally, in 1960^th was legalized, constantly being engaged in processing of population MGAR (in 1960 team of Kaputikyan, for the first time having visited in Garabagh, has brought in Moscow an attention to the question on preservation of the Armenian monuments) and only in 1980 has got over in Garabagh. This movement, as before, copes from Yerevan. Now it is lifted on the state level.

To prove groundlessness of statements of the Armenian nationalists that as if in Azerbaijan against Armenians the policy of infringement to a national attribute was conducted, we will address to historic facts. While in 1918 in Armenia Azerbaijanians made 45 percents, i.e. 575 thousand persons of the population of republic, in Azerbaijan in 1922 was all 240 thousand Armenian population. In 1979 on the contrary number of Azerbaijanians in Armenia has decreased more, than three times, having made 165 thousand persons. In Azerbaijan number of Armenians, having increased more than twice, has reached 487 thousand persons. Truly the Armenian nationalists have got used to put always the facts on its head. Hiding the truth about a life of Azerbaijanians in Armenia, the slaves which have appeared in position, they spread rumours about as if infringement of the rights of Armenians having a place in Azerbaijan. It is asked, where there was a distinction on a nationality - in Azerbaijan or Armenia? After 1988 the number of Azerbaijanians in Armenia is equal to zero. But in Azerbaijan and now lives more than 20 thousand Armenians. Really the percent of a gain of the Azerbaijan population always was approximately in 2-3 times above, than at Armenians.

As researchers, since time of establishment of "Heroine Mother" rank ascertain, under Decrees of a Supreme Council of the USSR in Armenia from everyone 10 mothers - heroines of 70-80 % were Azerbaijanians. However it is very a pity that at population census in Armenia the number of Azerbaijanians was always underestimated. Many Azerbaijanians living in villages with the mixed population, and also hundreds Azerbaijan cattle breeders living in the Armenian villages, were not brought at all in lists.

Researchers of this theme, certainly, in the future will prove, that number expelled of Armenia in 1988-1989 of Azerbaijanians as it is underlined in various sources, not to 165 thousand, not to 189 thousand and at all to 200 thousand persons, and is greater. The abandoned territory as it is specified in some printed sources not 6000 km², and as show calculations, is more - 9800 km². It is necessary to mean that from 36 districts located in present territory of Armenia, in 33 till 1918 lived Azerbaijanians. On administrative-territorial division in the past in these districts were more than 1200 Azerbaijan villages, and in 1988 in 22 districts remained only 185 Azerbaijan villages.

HORRORS OF LAST INVASION

The first ideologists of the far-fetched Garabagh problem which have grounded a basis of occurrence in 1988-1989 of refugees which number in spite of the fact that has passed 9 years, till now is not specified were representatives of the senior generation. Yacob Zarobyan (the former first secretary of Central Committee CP of Armenia), Ovanes Bagdasaryan (the former second secretary of Central Committee CP of Armenia), Victor Ambartsumyan (president of Scientific Academy of the Armenian SSR), Serj Khandzadyan, John Giragosyan, Aramais Mnachakanyan, B.Bablumyan and Ovanes Shiraz (husband Silvy Kaputikyan. She is from Turkey, father was killed in 1915. Information are taken from the Armenian Soviet encyclopedia). They have grounded a basis of general movement of Armenians for capture at Turkey Anatoly, and at Azerbaijan – Mountainous Garabagh and Nakhchivan. Silva Kaputikyan taking the baton from them making two peoples enemies to each other by her writings, the offender of spill of blood of hundreds people, occurrences of one million refugees, former the deputy of the Supreme Council of the USSR from Azerbaijan and till now not incurred punishments for making writer - self-educated persons Zori Balayan and adjoined to him pogosyans, manucharyans, dadamyans. In February, 1988 after reception at M.S.Gorbachev of team of Kaputikyan, from encouragement of the Center Regional Council of MGAR makes a decision, contradicting to the Constitution in which brings an attention to the question the Supreme bodies of Armenia and the USSR about transfer of district from Azerbaijan and its connections to Armenia.

Let's leave in the party literary trash Zory Balayan, we shall pay attention to its performance on sessions of a Supreme Council of Armenia which can serve as an evident sample of his political intriguing: «That in the country the Garabagh tragedy once again has not repeated, it is necessary immediately under aegis of the Supreme bodies of the USSR and Armenia to begin litigation above organizers of a genocide of Armenians and Russian in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic». For similar slander comments are required too. However the First Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of the USSR V.Erin as very precisely defined in his interview to the correspondent of TASS an inflammatory role balayans in creation of this tragedy: "Not" blackshirts, and "whiteshirts" and not "bearded men" organized provocative fuss around MGAR. They only blind executors waves of 10-12 ideologists created one year ago (certainly, not year, and thirty years ago - the author) committee "Garabagh". These ideologists have created the conflict between two next peoples.

In this connection there is one important question. Whether it was possible to prevent this conflict, this outcome of refugees? Yes, quite. If the Center from the very beginning would rise on a position of the law, having cancelled in the first day an illegal decision provincial Council of MGAR there would be no the second lawlessness, and the third, blood would not spill, and people would not leave the native centers. Originators of this bloodshed are as the Armenian government and the Central government patronizing him, and the former Azerbaijan government which are not understanding essence of events and not managed to give of a correct estimation of a situation. Acted on congress of People's Deputies of the USSR, the People's Deputy of RSFSR N.B.Chelnokov has quite right estimated a role of Soviet Union in the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict: «That who speaks, that to us it is necessary to keep the Union, for example, for the sanction, the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict, I would like to remind, what exactly within the framework of the Union this conflict has arisen and inflames ».

Huge negative role in spill of blood of innocent people - children, women, old men, in an aggravation of national conflicts and in occurrence new, have played due to the criminal mistakes, narrowness and subjectivity in illumination - a seal and other mass media. As well as in February, 1988, already after five years of bloodshed central, and nowadays the Moscow seal under influence of the Armenian lobby continues to play the negative role, kindling enmity between the nations.

Hearings about creation of the Armenian republic Mountainous Garabagh appeared owing to accepted on September, 2-3, 1991 provincial Council of MGAR, deprived powers, ВС the USSR the illegal, far-fetched decision contradicting to the Constitution on connection of a part of territory of former district Shaumyan have been published on the first pages of all central newspapers - "Truths", "News", «the Komsomol truth » and other editions. At the same time the lawful Decree of the Supreme Council of Azerbaijan that this decision contradicts the Constitution of the Azerbaijan Republic of such illumination has not received.

Whether it is possible to tell after that, what the central press openly does not set as the purpose support of lawlessness, kindling interethnic break a set? While the seal of Armenia and central press bear the responsibility for kindling of an ethnic animosity, the seal of Azerbaijan bears the responsibility for criminal silence (under the instruction of government during massacres. Neither the seal of Azerbaijan, nor central press informed nothing about murder by Armenians of two Azerbaijanians in Аskeran, becoming the beginning of massacres. But after the Armenian nationalists have organized Sumgait, within two years all seal of Armenia, a number of the central mass media tried to present world community the Azerbaijan people as extortioner and savages. In what criteria of validity what for murder of 26 Armenians in Sumgait has been condemned and sentenced to a death of 96 persons is stacked, and about brutal murders of 317 Azerbaijanians in Armenia does not know not only world community, but even the majority of people in the Azerbaijan? From the answer of Office of Public Prosecutor of the USSR to inquiry of Chairman of the Supreme Council of the Azerbaijan Republic it is visible, that investigation of massacres in Armenia is entrusted not to Office of Public Prosecutor of the USSR as was in Sumgait, and to bodies of protection of the law and order of Armenia.

Certainly, there is nothing to tell, and to discuss it is useless. But than it is possible to justify, what from courts of Armenia taking place in consideration of 530 criminal cases on 200 from them investigation has been suspended in connection with absence of structure of a crime? At the same time it is known, that to courts of Armenia in connection with crimes having a place during national conflicts it has been directed only 53 criminal cases on 91 accused. On 48 affairs it has been condemned 82 persons, from them 30 persons - for various terms of imprisonment. Pay attention to a "fair" verdict: for brutal murders 317 persons only 30 persons are done responsible, and that have got off easy punishment.

Wider representation about this accomplished in the world and in the country of injustice article «gives Massacres in Armenia in 1988-1989», becoming result of huge work of researcher Arif Yunusov who collected and has published in the newspaper "Express train - chronicle" of 135 facts for acquaintance of world community from which we bring fragments.

What is visible from materials available in hands? The most part of Azerbaijanians (186 persons, or approximately 87 %) has been killed in the first year of the Garabagh conflict, that is in 1988. The next year to them 28 persons and one more young man on an extreme degree of imprudence in 1990 arrived in district Vardenis was added to find out about destiny of a native house, hackneyed to death. Especially it is a lot of victims among countrymen (188 persons - 88 %, the townspeople 26 persons - 12 %). Massacres were in 19 districts of Armenia, but the greatest quantity killed to died (40 persons) falls at district Vardenis. (If to believe article in «The Voice of Armenia» Newspaper in this district on the part of the Armenian population the care causing affection) has been rendered to moving Azerbaijanians.

Among 11 cities "leader" is "Masis" - 8 persons, Kalinin - 5, Yerevan - 4, Kajaran - 2, to Kirovakan, Kafan, Goris, Sisyan, Spitak, Amasiya and Alaverdi falls at everyone on one victim.

From materials it is visible, that 127 persons have been killed. Majority of them (50 persons) were beaten to death, some more 35 persons, including 7 children and 10 middle-aged have died after brutal tortures, 15 Azerbaijanians, including living in Gukark Z.N.Nabiyeva who was 9 years old and G.M.Aliyev who was 78 years old were burnt. As much again (and also 2 children and 6 old men) were shot. 7 persons were crushed by machines. 3 persons were drowned, 1 person was killed by an electric current. At last, 19 years old B.I.Ahverdiev was hung in Amasiya district.

Totally on number the second group makes 65 persons. These are those who have died as a result of a heart attack from seen and emotional experience (10 persons), on fault of medical staff in hospitals (16 persons), frozen on mountain passes in snowstorm and a beetroot during exile from Armenia (49 persons). Predictably, especially children (6 persons) and oldster (27 persons) were killed much.

At last, two, not having sustained insults, have committed suicide. As Azerbaijanians specify, for 12 persons "accidents", destiny of eight men have been organized is unknown and to this day, they are considered disappeared without a message.

Killed and died - representatives of adult population (from 21 till 59 years) were in majority 109 persons. 24 of them were women, but 85 were men. Elderly, that is than 60 years, 77 persons are more senior. 22 of them were women but 55 were men. The oldest among them - hackneyed to death 89-years V.S.Shikhiyev (from village Yukhari Korpulu of Noyemberyan district). Children (from the 2-month's baby up to 14-years teenagers from village Shirazly of Ararat district) - 19 persons from them were 10 girls and 9 boys. The youth from 15 till 20 years among victims has some (9 persons). From them - one girl, eight guys.

It is difficult to present the villainies to itself accomplished by Armenians in Guark. Only from the end of November and in the beginning of December 70 Azerbaijanians here have been killed. From them 21 persons (including 6 women, 3 children) in village Gozaldere, 17 persons are killed in village Vartana.

How massacres and exiles were carried out?

Hearings in our country and abroad that exile of Azerbaijanians from Armenia began only after Sumgait events, and that through almost that 8 months, is contrary to the true.

On January, 25, on February, 18 and 23 of 1988 the next group of the Azerbaijan refugees, number in 4 thousand persons has arrived to Azerbaijan. As it was for the present «the unknown period» conflict, at that time tactics against Azerbaijanians was corresponding - threats, intimidations, beatings, blackmail. But it yet has not accepted the mass form, therefore and the figure is not so great. At once after Sumgait events the situation has unexpectedly sharply changed. Now the weapon went to a course too. Already after March, 10 to the south of Yerevan four Azerbaijanians (inhabitants have been killed in village Mehmandar). The militia tried to assure their native, that accident took place. On March, 25 in district Araratskom with the help of fire-arms the direct attack on the Azerbaijan villages has been carried out Conduct, Shirazli, Khalsa and Shidli, one person has been killed, tens are wounded, more than 100 houses are set fire. 11, 18 of May, 23 the next attacks have been accomplished and on other nearby villages to Yerevan. Inhabitants of Shirazli (880 persons), not having sustained, have moved to the Soviet-Turkish border, four months lived on bank of Araz on opened air.

In June, 20 inhabitants of five more Azerbaijan villages of Ararat district (about 10 thousand persons) have joined them. We shall note also that the attack on these villages was headed not only regional heads, and even by some ranking officers of republican scale, and especially former First Vice-president of the Council of Ministers S.Arutyunyan.

Certainly, all this was not casual, and had well organized character. There are all bases to consider, that movement of "hooligans" was under the control of the government and protection of committee "Garabagh", on behalf of his some leaders.

For example, whether performance on meeting on November, 4, 1988 member -correspondent Scientific Academy of Armenia R.Kazaryan testifies to it? In this performance he from the beginning, calling to provide with all necessary immigrants with the help created (it is interesting, when?) groups, has told: «For the first time for these decades the rare opportunity to clear (so in the text) Yerevan has appeared.

I think it the biggest achievement of our ten-monthly struggle » .

In March, 1989 in Kafan district of Armenia the monument has been put to the ferocious enemy of Azerbaijan people creating excesses above Azerbaijanians of Sharur-Daralayaz-Njd. The first secretary of a district committee of party Mkrtchyan, discussing implementation of century dream, has told at opening of a monument: «you worked much, however could not clear republic of Azerbaijanians. Your big dream was executed by your grandsons». Now in Armenia did not remain any Azerbaijanians. Truly, when Mkrtchyan made speech, in Armenia there was a unique Azerbaijan village Nuvedi and it as previous 200 thousand Azerbaijanians, with is conducted the governments on August, 8, 1991 within day was expelled.

The seal of Armenia has ignored that 20 thousand kurds and big, number Russian, having left the houses, have left Armenia. It is unknown that how many thousand Azerbaijanians becoming refugees, heart has become torn, not having sustained the tortures transferred for three year, sorrows and troubles.

So, without presentation of the ultimatum, without noise and the din, known methods, conformable time, exile of Azerbaijanians from Armenia has ended. The centers of thousand and thousand Azerbaijan families were burnt. We consider necessary to present readers the below-mentioned table in which incontestable proofs of are resulted what flours should be tested to Azerbaijanians in Armenia from hands of the Armenian gangsters, not ceasing to represent itself civilized, philanthropic, distressful, almost martyrs. This table is made on the basis of the materials sent to Office of Public Prosecutor of the USSR and investigatory bodies of Azerbaijan, and has been published in the newspaper . "Ulfat" (body of the Azerbaijan Council of Trade Unions) on February 22, 1992.
