Baku.am website on Baku’s Armenian community history presented in Yerevan

Armenian Genocide Museum hosted www.baku.am website presentation on February 23.

As Museum director Hayk Demoyan stated at the presentation, the trilingual website covers the social, political, cultural and business life of the Armenian community in Baku.

“The website aims at providing Azerbaijan’s youth with alternative information on the history of Baku, where anti-Armenian agitation forbids mention of the role of Armenians in the history of Azerbaijan,” he stressed.

In no way does the website mean to promote interethnic hatred, being the reflection of true facts proved by verified foreign sources, Demoyan said.

Separate section is dedicated to photographs and documents covering the Armenian massacres of 1905, 1918 and 1990 in Baku.

Creation of the website is a special tribute of respect to the memory of Armenians in Baku who fell victim to state orchestrated policy of intolerance and xenophobia provoked against Armenians in Azerbaijan.
