The survivors of Sumgait massacre are still awaiting the international courts to launch legal procedure over the crimes committed against Armenians, said Hrayr Ulubabyan, the author of the “Sumgait, Genocide, Publicity” book.

As he told a news conference in Armenia, international experts have repeatedly characterized Sumgait events as genocide. Ulubabyan slammed the policy of silence of the official Yerevan, noting that in contrast to Armenia, Azerbaijan is actively working to shift its blame on the Armenian side.

“I have documents as well as eyewitness evidence proving the fact of the slaughter of Armenians. However, the Armenian authorities are neglecting the issue,” Ulubabyan said.
