    The head of the department on work with law-enforcement bodies of the
    Azerbaijani President's Administration of the President, Fuad Aleskerov
    said that the Azerbaijani leadership states that the Armenian pogroms
    in Sumgait in 1988 were organized by Armenian nationalists and their
    promoters - Mikhail Gorbachev and USSR KGB.

    At the same time Aleskerov tried to lay the blame for the events
    in Sumgait also on the Armenian side, saying that the "Armenian
    nationalists" allegedly have been trying to justify Armenia's actions
    against Azerbaijan for many years.

    Aleskerov also stated that Azerbaijan possesses the so-called facts,
    which prove that the Armenian pogroms in Sumgait were organized by
    Armenian nationalists and their promoters - Mikhail Gorbachev and
    USSR KGB, 1news.az reported.
