From the pen of our historians: a look at the 1918 genocide against Azerbaijanis #genocid / 24 March, 2021
Academician Yagub Mahmudov: Armenians committed terrible crimes in Azerbaijan in 1918, not only against Azerbaijanis, but against humanity as a whole. Dashnak groups attacked all Muslim neighborhoods of Baku, killing old and small unarmed people.
Becouse of research, a large number of new facts and documents have been collected. A mass grave was discovered in Guba. The revealed historical facts prove that the geography of the bloody actions carried out by the Armenian nationalists in March-April 1918 and later was wider and the number of victims of the tragedy was much more higher.
If you look at the history of genocide, it is clear that it has never been used, such a brutal and ruthless killing of people. Separate books on genocide committed in Azerbaijan have been published.
Armenians were resettled in the South Caucasus, and the territory of the current Armenian state is the historical lands of Azerbaijan. Since March 1918, the Armenian nationalists have destroyed the peaceful Azerbaijani population only on the basis of their ethnicity, burned people alive, and destroyed rare historical monuments and mosques.
