    Works on shooting the documentary "Sumgait. February of 1988" --
    Part II of the "Ordinary Genocide" series -- are nearing completion,
    project's director Mrs. Marina Grigorian told journalists. She said
    that the film crew found out numerous video and photos, casting light
    on unknown details of those massacres and crimes committed against
    Armenian population of Azerbaijan's city of Sumgait in February 27-29
    of 1988.

    "We've found out shootings by Prosecutor General's Office of the USSR,
    court's cases and investigation documents, consisting of photos of
    bodies of killed people. These pics make it clear that the real number
    of victims was more, than it had been reported," she said.

    "And the most important thing is that we found out documents, referring
    to facts that the Sumgait Massacres were planned, scheduled, organized,
    committed and controlled by Azerbaijani authorities with Heydar Aliyev
    on head," Marina Grigorian added.

    Documentary's premiere is scheduled to be screened by the state
    television of Armenia in the first decade of April, by the 18th
    anniversary of tragic massacre in Maraga village of Nagorno Karabakh.

    "Ordinary Genocide" Part I was screened in January - morning days for
    victims of massacres and mass killings against Armenians of Azerbaijan.

    "Ordinary Genocide" series is a project supported by the Center for
    Public Relations and Communications of Armenia's State Administration.
