 Armenian embassy in Georgia issues statement on Sumgait pogroms February 27, 2013 - 21:43 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Georgia’s Gruzia Online news agency has published the official statement of Armenian embassy in Georgia on the 25th anniversary of the pogroms against Armenians in Azerbaijani city of Sumgait. “Today, Armenia and Armenian Diaspora honor the memory of innocent victims of Sumgait pogroms, masterminded 25 years ago. The policy of violence and ethnic cleansing against Armenians in Sumgait continued in Baku on Jan 13-20, 1990, with several hundred of Armenians falling victims, despite the official Azerbaijani data reporting only 49 victims. 25 years have already passed, but Armenian people will never forget the victims. We are certain that sooner or later both the murderers and rapists of innocent people and those giving them hero’s welcome will be punished for their crimes,” the statement reads.
