IN MEMORIAM OF THE INNOCENT ARMENIAN VICTIMS OF SUMGAIT, BAKU AND OTHER CITIES
30 years ago, during February our compatriots in Artsakh and Armenia started the movement for the liberation and freedom of Artsakh. As we mark the heroic events of February 1988 it is also our sacred responsibility and duty to remember our brothers and sisters who became victims of pogroms and ethnic cleansing in Sumgait, Baku and other cities of Azerbaijan.
The aspiration of Artsakh people for freedom and for their fundamental human rights were met by violence and aggression. Many innocent Armenian men and women, unprotected elderly and children were brutally killed by Azeris in front of the eyes of Soviet Government of the time.
We will be holding a special prayer service on the 4th of March, at the end of the Divine Liturgy at St. Yeghiche Armenian Church, respecting the memories of all those innocent victims and brave defenders of Artsakh who fell paving the path to freedom and sowing the seeds of free and independent Artsakh.
We invite our faithful to join us to pray for their loving memory with the hope and expectation that with the help of God the final peace will prevail in our homeland.
