    WREATH TO COMMEMORATE SUMGAIT VICTIMS

    21 years ago, in 26-28 February, 1988 Azeri perpetrators conducted a
    massacre over the local peaceful Armenians. Today, in the morning the
    members of Armenian Revolutionary Federation Dashnaktsutyun,
    representative of the ARF, National Assembly Deputy Armen Rustamyan,
    writer Zori Balayan, eye witnessed gathered at the moment
    commemorating the memory of Sumgait victims and put wreaths on it.

    Armen Rustamyan said that it is already 21 years Azerbaijan remains
    unpunished and currently it is obvious that `lying in the
    international organizations is easier than telling the truth.'

    `Azerbaijan has turned over the events. Sumgait events are the
    evidence to the fact where those crimes started, and that people of
    Nagorno Karabakh have right of self determination in their own
    territories,' said Armen Rustamyan. Roman Ghambaryan, who is the head
    of the group defending the rights of Sumgait Armenians and an eye
    witnessed of those events, tells about the day when they lost their
    father.

    'There were 20 thousand Armenians. Many died in `third micro'
    region. When they started to break into houses, they invaded into
    ours. On 28 February at 6 o'clock the crowd attacked our building. My
    father, mother, brother and me were keeping the door but they broke it
    and entered. We were fighting but we could not save our father, he was
    seriously injured. The next day when they came we found a shelter at
    our neighbor's house,' he told.

    The real facts of Sumgait massacre should be presented in many
    international organizations as the Azeri try to distort the facts.
