From the pen of historians
Doctor of History Atakhan Pashayev writes in his book “On the trail of unopened pages”:
“The events of the bloody march in Baku, contrary to historical facts and documents, by historians of the Soviet era, this massacre is not a policy of genocide carried out as a result of the hostility of one people against another, but part of the All-Russian Civil War, the struggle of the Bolsheviks for Soviet power and their great counter-revolutionary victory. However, it would be pertinent to add that in the chorus of historians of the Soviet era, a peculiar forgery, veiled in Armenian moaning, draws attention to itself. Just flick through the book “Young Turks before the Court of History” by “party and state figure, scientist and educator, communist and citizen (Henrik Azatyan) John Kirakosian” (Yerevan, Ayastan publishing house, 1986) to see how much of history has been distorted and written with prejudice”.
