    The ceremony of mourning for the victims of the Sumgait Massacres was
    held on February 28 in Beirut, a spokesperson for Armenia's Foreign
    Ministry said.

    Armenian St. Nshan Church held a mourning ceremony in memory of the
    Sumgait Victims. After the ceremony Armenia's Ambassador to Lebanon
    Ashot Kocharian, Ararat paper's chief editor Agaron Shkhrdmian,
    and Bishop Gegham Khacherian of the Armenian Diocese in Lebanon, spoke.

    The mourning ceremonies were attended by deputies, leaders of
    the political parties, representatives of Armenian Community and
    organisations of Lebanon, and journalists.

    The Sumgait Massacres, committed by Azerbaijani nationalists groups
    on February 26-28 1988 against Armenian population of the town,
    left dozens of Armenians dead and hundreds others injured.
