Mourned the 25th anniversary of deportation of Azerbaijanis from Armenia
Baku/05.12.13/Turan : This year marks the 25th anniversary of the complete deportation of Azerbaijanis from the territory of present-day Armenia . In the period the deportation covered 8,000 square km and 172 settlements where Azerbaijanis lived.
In early December 1988 were expelled 182,000 Azerbaijanis (UN High Commission data ), 18,000 Kurds and Russians (data of the Commission for Refugees of the former Supreme Soviet of Azerbaijan).
As can be seen from the investigation of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs, 216 Azerbaijanis were killed, two of them beheaded, 11 burned alive, one hanged, three dissected, 29 crushed by machines, 41 beaten to death, and one killed with an electric shock.
Additionally, one person committed suicide, 10 people died from a heart attack and 8 are missing. Among the dead there are 57 women and 23 children.
In total, several deportations of Azerbaijanis from the territory of present-day Armenia were committed, since 1820.
The Armenian author Zaren Kargadyan in his book "The population of Soviet Armenia 1831-1931" writes that until 1820 in the territory of present-day Armenia Azerbaijanis lived in 2,000 of the 2,300 settlements.
As a result of division of Azerbaijan in 1828 as a result of the Gulistan treaty between Russia and Iran, Azerbaijanis were periodically deported from Armenia.
In 1986 Yerevan published the Armenian dictionary of names and the surrounding areas. It says that 70% of people living in Armenia are migrants from Iran and Turkey during the 1828-1930 period.
Massive and often violent deportation of Azerbaijanis from Armenia took place in 1905, 1918 , 1920 , 1948-1956 , 1978-1988 , respectively. -03B04-
