Sumgait Pogrom: Revisiting the Narrative – A Controversial Claim Emerges
Sumgait Pogrom: A Controversial New Perspective. The Sumgait pogrom, a dark chapter in the history of Azerbaijan and Armenia, has long been associated with Azerbaijani perpetrators targeting Armenians. However, recent statements by Sergei Kurginyan challenge this narrative. Kurginyan claims that Armenians were the victims of a planned attack, and that international actors were involved. "I can say with full responsibility that those who carried out the brutal killings in Sumgait were not Azerbaijanis," Kurginyan states. His claims are supported by his reference to international structures orchestrating the violence. This statement is highly controversial and requires further investigation. The video's content, while one-sided, highlights a need for a more thorough examination of the Sumgait events. Further research is essential to establish a clear and unbiased understanding of the conflict.
