Armenian Community of Georgia distributes books on Azerbaijan’s genocidal policy against Armenians to over 40 embassies

The Armenian Community of Georgia distributed a book on the genocidal policy of Azerbaijan against Armenians to embassies of several countries, the community announced on its Facebook.

“The Genocidal Policy of Azerbaijan Against Armenians (1918-2023) is a publicly available study dedicated to the tragic events and crimes committed over more than a century. The book is divided into six parts, starting with the bloody events of 1918, known as the Baku Massacre, and covering key episodes, including:
The massacre of Armenians in Shushi in 1919-1920,
The pogroms and deportations of Armenians in 1988-1990 in Sumgait, Baku, and Maragha,
Azerbaijan’s war crimes during the Four-Day War in April 2016,
Crimes committed during and after the 44-day war in 2020,
The forced deportation of Artsakh residents and ethnic cleansing of Artsakh in 2023.
This book is not just a chronicle of events but a detailed study of Azerbaijan’s genocidal policies aimed at the destruction of Armenians through genocide, massacres, forced deportations, the destruction of cultural heritage, and systematic denial of historical facts. Special attention is given to the tragedies in Shushi, Sumgait, Baku, and the recent events in Artsakh, where the Armenian population was forced to leave their ancestral lands.

The publication was made possible with financial and technical support from Georgian citizens of both Armenian and Georgian descent.

The book has been translated into English, making it accessible to a wide international audience. Both the Georgian and English editions have received individual barcodes from the National Parliamentary Library of Georgia.

The English version has already been distributed to more than 40 accredited embassies and diplomatic missions in Georgia, raising international awareness of the tragic events. There are plans to send the book to embassies and diplomatic missions in other countries as well. The Georgian version has been distributed to the libraries of more than 20 Georgian universities, with plans to add the English translation to their collections in the future.
In the near future, the book will be presented to ministries, central offices of major political parties in Georgia, non-governmental organizations, international organizations’ representations in Georgia, and media outlets. This will help draw even more attention to the issues of preserving historical justice and preventing the recurrence of such tragedies.

The book serves not only as a tribute to the victims, but also as a call to the international community to recognize the gravity of recurring acts of genocide and to take measures to prevent them in the future,” the Armenian Community of Georgia said in a statement.
