Armenian President pays tribute to memory of Sumgait pogrom victims in Yerevan Memorial

President of Armenia Armen Sarkissian on February 28 visited the Tsitsernakaberd Memorial in Yerevan to commemorate the innocent victims of the tragic events in Sumgait, his Office told Armenpress.

The President laid a wreath at the cross-stone dedicated to the memory of the innocent victims.

“Today together with all Armenians we are remembering the crimes of February 27-28, 1988. In response to the peaceful demonstrations of the Armenian population of Artsakh, who were exercising their right to self-determination, a mass bloody revenge has been organized against Armenians in the town of Sumgait of Soviet Azerbaijan.

Hundreds of our compatriots have been killed on the ground of national hostility, the others were subjected to brutal violence and atrocities and were violently displaced from their place of residence”, the President said. “The Sumgait crime has no expiration date, and we need to do everything that this terrible crime is strongly condemned by the international community, gets acknowledgement and right assessment”.

The President also paid tribute to the memory of the 1915 Armenian Genocide Victims near the Eternal Flame in the Memorial.
