YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 28, ARMENPRESS: A new commission is to be set up for
implementation of the worthy compensation of Sumgait massacres. "I
am ready to assist with all my information for proper organization
of the works," co-author of "Genocide, Publicity, Sumgait" book Hrayr
Ulubabyan said today at a meeting with journalists. Mr. Ulubabyan is
the eyewitness and follower of the events, and has come forth as head
of the undertaking group on defense of rights of Sumgait Armenians.
According to him, the 26 or 27 number of victims is usually mentioned
in official sources. "I have revealed as a result of my researches
that the killed persons are more than 100," Mr. Ulubabyan said, adding
that as a result of researches, the names and surnames of 31 persons
will be distinctly publicized March 1 as a result of researches.
Coordinator of the Institute of Civil Society and Regional Development,
expert Shushan Khatlamajyan said that after the Sumgait massacres
Armenia has many refugees, inheritors of victims, and all that is
fixed in Madrid Principles.
Those refugees, according to international conventions, have a right of
compensation. According to the speaker, at the price of the liberated
territories Armenia can not only organize a return of refugees, but to
open the corresponding resolution and present a concrete compensation
with names and surnames of the victims.
"Of course, it must be done at state level, by corresponding structures
of international instances," she said, adding that there is no need of
new commissions, as there are NGOs which have worked in that direction
for many years, there is a database, diligently conducted numerous
studies, which need support- translators, international lawyers, to
hire and to bring the case to an end. "Today we must give a result,
which will be put at the table of Minsk and United Nations. Sumgait
case must not be separated from the whole Karabakh claim," Shushan
Khatlamajyan said.
