There were dozens of casualties, mostly burnt alive after assaults and torture. Hundreds of innocent people were wounded and disabled. The story of Sumgait marked the first entry in a long list of crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansings of the end of the 20th century.
The events were preceded by a wave of anti-Armenian statements and rallies that swept over Azerbaijan. Almost the entire area of the town with population of 250 thousand became a site of unhindered mass pogroms. Armed with iron rods, stones, axes, knives, bottles and canisters full of petrol, the perpetrators broke in Armenian houses.
I don't agree with some Armenians who believe in their "heroic victory" in NK. First, the war is not finished yet. Second, after hundred years of disastrous defeats small and not final victory can't change Armenians loser mentality.
I am from Sumgayit, and I'm quite happy to live here...
All shite you can see in this video made by stupids which never been in Sumgayit...any city/town I've been has it's positive and negative sides, actually this video taken beyond the Sumgayit, 100% it's outside Sumgayit! All,
I promise that I'll makke TRUE video regarding Sumgayit.
Azeries/Turks,
Please ignore all coments above, they (armenians) dont know what they doing and what they want...
Do not let little success get to you. Things are changing in Iran side, Azerbaijanis in Iran side are coming for you guys, Gas pipe is going to be shut down, and border shut down. And united Azerbaijan means end of Armenia.
"The duduk is one of the oldest double reed instruments in the world which dates back over 3,000 years. Variants of the duduk can be found in Armenia and the Caucasus. The roots of Armenian duduk music go back to the times of the Armenian king Tigran the Great (95-55 BC)[citation needed]. The instrument is depicted in numerous Armenian manuscripts of the Middle Ages.[6]"
This is from ENCYCLOPEDIA!!! Do you know what that is? LOL
Aah yes, once again the Armenians prove to the world why no one likes them, especially reading the posts here it is evident that these little rats are full hate and prejudges against everyone not Armenian, kind of like the Nazis.
Face the reality, Armenia losing population so fast , that smart Armenian would pack and leave on his own. Azerbaijanis in Iran side are rising up too, after seeing what is going on,thanks to you guys. United Azerbaijan is really bad for you guys.Give back the Azerbaijani lands back or else you are creating bad situation for yourself.
Hahahah just wait you fucking turk asslicking whores, we will hunt you out from caucasus, you'll run and drown in caspian sea. Just wait, we have pwned you before and We WILL do it again you pussies.
u fucking armenians....just wait the big war coming around u....QARABAGH is OURS and will be back to us....u bastards...u just know how to put down others and make ur fucking history and fucking nation up...u r nothing but doggy shits spreading itself all around....
whoooooooo u guys willl attack ussssss loooooooooooool what u guys waithing for our presedent said we are ready 2 years ago and he didnt tell u guys he told to turks (mongols ur brothers)we are ready SEE WAITH THIS TIME WHATS GONE HAPPEN MAYBE U LOSE UR COMPUTER TO LOOOOOOL
You talk so confident, I dare you and your people to start war with karabakh today, why have you been waiting for 15 years, fight if you think you can win. Read the news, we shoot at your posts every day near Agdam. You talk tough now, but when it comes to war, You Azeris run like bitches. If Karbakh belonged to Azerbaijan, the international community would have bombed it already , but they havent have they, they accept the fact the karbakh is an independent de facto Armenian province.
U exist in this world thanks to Russians,u're a piece of shit,poor assholes.And the world witnesses all of this.Just wait..We Azeris are beginning a war, and we'll make u suck our dicks, motherfucken assholes,u'll see the strengh of our army and understand how much money we spent on our respected army.Karabakh has been,is and WILL BE a part of Azerbaijan.Keep this in u'r fucken head, dumb asses...
And you existed because some mongol Turks fucked some caucasian Albanians and made them convert to Islam. You are all bastards, you converted to your enemy. We Armenians have been Armenian from the begining, no one was able to make us convert, not the Romans, not the Persians, not the Turks nor the Russians.
moran u exist b/c some persian fuck cristian your moms existed. and dont kiss azery asses' music call "its fucking armenian song. since when armenian compose songs. its all azery music. u come up with the fuck up words. pc/ mfucker
Fuck all of u, Armenians!There has never been such culture or such a land called Armenian in the history.U fucken assholes stole everything from Azeris,our culture,our own Karabakh,even our names. Keep in u'r fucken mind that Karabakh is a historical Azeri land,as well as Nakhchivan and Qafan,Megri,Irevan which was recognized by Soviet Union as so called Arnmenia...
fuck you too, your an idiot. Your saying Armenia never existed, how can we have never existed when Armenia was the first country to accept christianity as a state religion in 301 AD, 1700 years ago. Where the fuck was Azerbaijan back then. Let me tell you something, you Azeris cant compete with Armenias when it comes to culture, its just not realistic, we are as original as they get.
It is very good tactic for Azeri goverment in terms of getting land back, which in first place dont belong them. Secondly, why are you people dont rise up and ask where our oil money go to? Why does goverment havent done anything in 15 years in terms of accomodating every one with homes? They make you live in poverty while they get rich and blame everyone else and make you angree so you fight them without reasoning first...THINK.!
However, good luck to this guy. Let him become a great Azeri singer as Byulbyul from Karabakh. Then may be he can make some money and give some to this idiot named Brian Gonzalez. Who is using refugee tragedy to make money for himself. Go suck Ilham's dick he will give you some salary. Asshole What a disgrace
I dont understand, who is this asshole Brian asking money from. Look at Azeri videos in youtube, dont go far. Look at their CNN promo. If they are so rich what the hell then this Brian is raising money for? Let their government spend their oil dollars on their refugees. This Gonzalez should feel ashamed for making money in such a dishonest way. 250000 armenians left their aptments in the center of Baku to azeris. There is a building booom in Baki at the moment. Who is this Brian fooling?
AzeriFighter, were going to chop your head off and make Turkish shish kebab in Armenian you motherfucker, if i ever meet you in person I will rip your fucken head off, don't fuck with Armenians we will destroy Baku next.
AzeriFighter, if you start another war, believe me it will be death for you and your country of Azerbaijan, we will destroy Baku and burn it to the ground, we have nuclear weapons don't fuck with us. Shut the fuck up and die you stupid cockroach.
Its interesting how Azerbaijan makes millions in oil but after 13 years these people still live in refugee camps. Azeri always look at the war only through their eyez. You have to understand, Armenians suffered alot worst throughout history and these events led to the Karabakh war. The karbakh war was a byproduct of the Armenian genocide and loss of territory to Turkey.
Actually, serious money only recently started to flow with the opening of the BTC pipeline. The new oil boom is fueling reconstruction throughout the country. However, just like its neighbors, Azerbaijan suffers from extreme corruption, and that hampers democratic and economic progress benefiting average Azeris. Lastly, while history plays a significant role, the Karabakh conflict is a result of perestroika leading to ultra nationalism. Refuges are simply used as political pawns.
I agree with your points. IMO since both Nakhichivan and Karabakh were inhabited by both Azeris and Armenians in the begining of the 20h cetury, each country should have received one de facto state. Azerbaijan successfully cleansed NK of Armenians but was granted both de facto states. Now that Armenia has karabakh, everything is fair. Thats the fairest approach, anything alse is just greed.
I'm not going to go into 'cleansing' or other nationalistic drivel. Karabakh is only a part of the occupied lands. The surrounding regions belong to the 500+ thousand Azeri refugees that lived there prior to the war. Nothing about this conflict is 'fair' as it certainly does not benefit anyone.
Back to the video, I think it's unfortunate that young children are born into such dire conditions. Even worse, governments use IDPs as political pawns in many of these unresolved conflicts. Regardless, what's pathetic is that there are people who come here to insult or bring up trivial and irrelevant subjects without any concern for the victims of war.
Azeris like WarrioRDFB will not like to show this old 90s look of Sumgait ofcourse,because it is well known and documented that who used to live there before. The massacres of Sumgait Armenians will not be forgotten.what a shamefull history of Azeris.and yet without shame they claim to play the victims.Almost half a million Armenians who used to live in former Soviet Azerbeijan arent living there anymore except Karabagh.
Nationalists, like you and that other Azeri, fail to acknowledge the crimes of your own gov/people but are quick to blame each other. The pogroms in Sumgait and Baku were disgusting, and while some were prosecuted by the Soviet authorities, it's absurd to blame the crimes of the few on a nation of 8 million. Likewise, Armenian nationalists are vocal about the expulsion of Armenians from AZ, yet are quiet about the Azeris that were forced out of Armenia, forget about massacres like Kholaji.
All those houses used to be owned by Armenians, they chased Armenians and took over their houses

The massacre of Armenians in Sumgait (a town located a half an hour drive away from Baku) took place on February 27-29, 1988.

OK!
How is an Armenian music or Duduk related to a refugee camp of Turks?
How about using their own music for their own documentary!
Don't have anything original of their own to present, so they steal other peoples cultures and present thema s their own?
I'm pretty sure that the person playing this Duduk is Jivan Gasparyan!
I have no problem others using Armenian music for anything, but how is it related to Azeri refugee camp.
