    `An Ordinary Genocide': Speaking of Sumgait massacres in RAU


    On February 27, on the eve of the Commemoration Day of the victims of
    pogroms in Sumgait, in Russo-Armenian (Slavonic) University was
    organized a presentation of documentary films "Baku, January 1990" and
    "Sumgait, February 1988" from the series of "An Ordinary genocide'. On
    the presentation in RAU was present also the head of the project
    famous journalist Marina Grigoryan.

    "In our region, both the present and the future are mainly determined
    by the past', - noticed Marina Grigoryan. `No matter how hard we try
    not to think about what our people experienced during the whole XX
    century, we will not succeed in it, because what they have started at
    the beginning of the XX century, they want to finish in the XXI'.
    "Apart from the fact that we all need to know the history of our
    people, the reason for the establishment of this cycle is that we all
    want to live safely. However the guarantee of security can only be the
    recognition and the correct assessment of the international community
    in the acts that were committed in the past ", - she noticed.

    Films from the series of "An ordinary genocide," tell of the genocide
    acts, deportation of Armenians of Azerbaijan and Nagorno Karabakh and
    mass violence against the them. "The facts presented in these films
    come to witness that these events occurred not only due to the
    activities of individual criminal structures, but also because of the
    intentional policy of the Azerbaijani government towards our
    compatriots", - said the professor of the RAU Arman Saghatelyan,
    introducing the film. "Much of what these people had experienced
    before the death, we can not make public even today, because it is
    really dangerous for the psychology of the normal people", - added
    Marina Grigoryan, the author of the films.

    The project "Ordinary genocide" is being implemented by the support of
    the Information and Public Relations Center of the Armenian
    President's Office.
