The Ramkavar-Azatakan Party of Armenia calls on the RA National Assembly to adopt a law on “Qualifying the actions of the Azeris against the Armenians in 1988-1991 in the territory of Azerbaijan as Genocide” as soon as possible. According to the party, this step will be a clear answer to the Azeri authorities who make calls to eliminate the Armenian nation and prove the existence of the plan to destroy Armenian culture in practice.
The republican administration of the Ramkavar-Azatakan Party of Armenia qualifies the actions of the Azeris against the Armenians in 1988-1991 in the territory of Azerbaijan as Genocide basing upon the UN Convention “Genocide: about the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime” adopted in 1948.
It is mentioned in the announcement of the party that the Azeri authorities periodically realized acts of national discrimination, violation and torture against the representatives of Armenians and Lezghins living in the region.
«After all the Armenians were evicted from the Nakhijevan autonomous region, the encroachments of the Azeri authorities against the Armenians which lasted for decades reached their peak in 1988, first in Sumgayit, and then in Baku, Kirovabad and other cities, which was expressed by the mass slaughter of Armenians and their eviction, and Nagorno Karabakh and the Armenian living there became subject of attacks with modern powerful weapons. Many Armenians were killed in their houses and in the streets only because they were Armenians. That was their only «fault», the announcement says.
