Procession to Tsitsernakaberd commemorating Sumgait victims
Twelve Armenian NGOs moved from Sport & Concert Complex to Tsitsernakaberd, Memorial of Armenian Genocide victims, where a monument commemorating victims of Sumgait slaughter in 1988 is erected.
The participants of the procession put flowers near the monument. The initiative of the precession belongs to “Alert” NGO which was joined by people who survived those massacres.
The participants of the procession complained that day commemorating victims of Sumgait is defined by the state. Hrayr Ulubabyan, one of the participants, said the National Assembly hasn’t yet assessed those events appropriately.
“Massacres carried out in Sumgait and Baku should be defined as Genocide,” he said.
