    Gyumri commemorated victims of Sumgait Pogrom

    14:27, 28 February, 2015


    GYUMRI, 28 FEBRUARY, ARMENPRESS. Citizens of Gyumri respected the
    memory of the victims of the Sumgait Pogrom with an event dedicated to
    the 27th anniversary of the Armenian massacres. Among the participants
    were representatives of Gyumri Municipality led by Deputy Mayor Ruben
    Manoyan."Even the history of the USSR when friendship between Soviet
    republics was propagandized couldn't discipline the Azerbaijanis. They
    proved once again that a tribe can't become a nation. Most of us
    couldn't even imagine that such genocide could have begun in those
    years," Ruben Manoyan mentioned.

    Like every year, the event dedicated to the victims of the Sumgait
    Pogrom was also held near the cross-stone sculpted by sculptor from
    Gyumri Zaven Koshtoyan. All the participants laid flowers near the
    cross-stone to the memory of the victims of the Sumgait Pogrom and
    respected the memory of the peaceful Armenian civilians with a moment
    of silence. Most of the survivors of the genocide took shelter in
    Gyumri in 1988 and shared the fate of the citizens of Gyumri during
    the devastating earthquake that struck Spitak in December 1988.
