    BAKUR KARAPETYAN: IT IS STRANGE THAT AZERBAIJANI PROSECUTOR CAN BE AFRAID OF ARMENIAN JOURNALIST

    YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 28, ARMENPRESS: It is not possible to determine the
    number of the victims of Sumgait and Baku massacres, but witnesses
    tell about heaps of bodies in morgues.

    Chairman of "Shushi" charitable foundation Bakur Karapetyan said today
    at a meeting with journalists that in 1988, when Artsakh experienced
    awakening, he left for Stepanakert to screen the running events. "By
    returning I listened about Sumgait and Baku massacres. I was very
    surprised hearing that nothing was written and screened about what
    happened. So I left for Artsakh at the end of March," Mr. Karapetyan
    said.

    "Sumgait people avoided being frank with me, afraid of the regular
    steps of authorities. I had an amateur camera, by which I screened,"
    Mr. Karapetyan said, noting that the camera fixed ruined apartments,
    injured people with horrified faces.

    The chairman of the fund said that he strived to speak to foreigners
    as much as possible in order to prepare a more trustworthy film for
    foreigners. It is interesting that when the latter tried to talk to
    Azerbaijani prosecutors, they avoided him by every way. "It is strange
    that the Azerbaijani prosecutor can be afraid of Armenian journalist,"
    Mr. Karapetyan said.

    The film which lasts 54 minutes and is called "Sumgait Waves" is in
    the Russian language.

    The central committee, afraid of consequences, prohibited the
    screening of the film. But the film was shown at the US Congress. The
    Azerbaijani, knowing that the film was screened by an Armenian
    journalist, immediately put forth a hypothesis as if Armenians
    deliberately prepared those activities and screened. Mr. Karapetyan
    immediately responded, saying that he started the screenings 20-25
    days after the event.

    We did not manage to follow in the tracks of Baku massacres, as
    precautionary measures were already undertaken there, the "victims"
    of which became the Italians, who implemented screenings in Baku,
    and whom the Azerbaijani confused with Armenians.
