YEREVAN. – The Armenian pogroms were being carried out in Baku, in these days in 1990.

Ararat Mirzoyan, the newly elected speaker of the National Assembly of Armenia, stated the aforementioned at the beginning of Tuesday’s session of the new legislature.

“I believe that all our National Assembly deputies will together condemn this violence as well as will together reject all types of violence based on discrimination, in all corners of the world,” Mirzoyan stated. “I believe, you agree [that] we [Armenians], as a people who have faced such violence several times during their history, cannot tolerate any violence towards any national minority.”
