Massacres in Shushi and Baku are historically consecutive crimes
President of the Artsakh Republic Bako Sahakyan met Tuesday with participants of the international theoretical and practical conference on the 90th anniversary of pogroms in Shushi and the 20th anniversary of Armenian massacre in Baku.

"Massacres in Shushi and Baku are historically consecutive. To prevent repetition of such crimes in the future, it's essential to scrutinize closely their historical, political, cultural, ethnographic, economic and other aspects," Mr. Sahakyan said.

NKR Minister of Education and Science Vladik Khachatryan, Minister of Culture and Youth Affairs Narine Aghabalyan also attended the meeting, reported the Central Information Department of the Office of the NKR President.
