110 years passes since "bloody February slaughter in Baku"
The events of February 6-10, 1905, entered the history as “a bloody slaughter in Baku”.

The Armenian-Muslim massacres ignited by the murder of one Azerbaijani by the Armenian Committee members took place not only as a result of a coincidence as claimed by many historians, but in a planned manner in the city, where wealthy Armenians were gathered. The Armenians were confident that they would achieve their goal with the help of the Armenian millionaires, take control of Baku oil deposits, create the Armenian state after forcing the Muslims out of the South Caucasus.

This fact, which is hardly taken into account today, deserves attention, because, it is a phenomenon characteristic not only for 1904-1906, but which still continues to take place nowadays, too. The goal has remained the same: intentional attempt to frighten the majority of the peaceful Armenians, to force them to encourage the actions of terrorism”.


February 6, 1905. According to the documents of Mikhailovsky Hospital, terrorist groups protected by the Armenian millionaires Balabey Lalayan, Artem Babayants, Isay Ter-Osipov and other magnates 18 persons were killed, 33 wounded, including 34 Azerbaijanis, 6 Russians, 6 Armenians and 5 representatives other nations.

February 5, 1905. About 100 peaceful residents were killed and wounded by the same Armenian terrorist organisation.

The events of February 6-10, 1905, entered the history as “a bloody slaughter in Baku”. The above–named Armenian magnates together with Mantashev, Ter–Gukasov, Melikyants were the members and sponsors of the international Armenian terrorist organisation Dashnaksutyun which began to implement their programme goals.

The end of the August of 1905. The Armenian band-formations committed monstrous slaughter of the residents of the city – the ethnicAzerbaijanis. According to eye–witnesses, the events at the end of August in Baku exceeded the February tragedy of the same year due to brutality and mass nature of slaughters.

According to the materials from the Russian archives, the Armenian terrorist organisation Dashnaksutyun played a double game in 1905-1906, in fact: “first, on the one hand, at least a part of wrath against the Muslims has been vented, on the other hand, with the help of press and propaganda the Russian government was presented as the culprit of the committed crimes, thus, there appeared a new material for a mighty propagation for revolutionizing not only the Armenians, but other inhabitants of the Caucasus, too... As a result, many administrative and private persons of the Russian nationality objectionable to the Armenians were killed”.

The Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh started in the end of 80s of XX century by the armed assault of Armenia against Azerbaijan has resulted in death and injury of hundred of thousands of people, more than a million of people became refugees and IDPs, and finally, occupation of 20% of Azerbaijan’s territory by Armenia. Although an agreement establishing cease-fire regime was signed in May 1994, this conflict has not been resolved on the basis of the main principles of the international law so far, the number of killed and injured as a result of regular violation of cease-fire regime in the contact lines of fighting parties increases. Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is the most complicated conflict not only in the South Caucasus region but we would say in the post-Soviet area in general, creating serious problems for the proper integration of the region to the world community as well as establishment and development of the democratic values. However, Armenian ideologists continue to falsify the historical facts creating myths for justification of Armenia’s territorial claims against Azerbaijan. They try to convince both the Armenian and world community in the veracity of these falsified “historical facts”. This process is actually continued under the form of spreqding of “Armenian mythology” all over the world by the Armenian mythologists.
