    ArmInfo. Scanning of the materials on the pogroms of Armenians in
    Sumgait in February of 1988 has been completed and the electronic
    archive is now ready to be placed on the web, Sona Truzyan, Spokeswoman
    of the Armenian Prosecutor General, told ArmInfo.

    The web page "Sumgait" telling about those tragic incidents is
    currently under construction. It will be available on the website
    of the Prosecutor General's Office of Armenia. Part of the materials
    are already available at the website. Simultaneously, the materials
    are being studied. "Inquiring into the materials of the criminal case
    reveal that the pogroms and murders of Armenians were organized and
    planned by the political authorities of that period in Azerbaijan.

    Testimonies by witnesses are the best evidence of that," Sona Truzyan
    said. She highlighted that the ordinary citizens in Azerbaijan were
    warned to be brought responsible in case of helping Armenians. "The
    addresses and second names of the Azerbaijanis who helped Armenians
    in Sumgait are not mentioned in the testimonies," she said.

    "We hope that already in March the website will be ready and will
    provide more details on the tragedy in Sumgait," Sona Truzyan said. On
    Feb 27-29 1988 nearly the whole territory of Sumgait became arena
    of unopposed mass pogroms of the Armenian population. Armed with
    cold weapons and explosives the pogromists killed at least 53 and
    injured hundreds of innocent peaceful Armenians citizens. There
    were numerous cases of beating, tortures, rape (even of minors),
    over 200 ruined flats, dozens of fired shops, cars. Thousands of
    people become refugees.
