Feb. 28 - Reports that two Azerbaijanis have been killed by Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh provoke riots in the Azerbaijani industrial city of Sumgait. Soviet officials say 32 people are killed, 26 of them Armenians. Armenians say the toll is much higher. http://www.nytimes.com/1988/05/22/world/months-of-unrest-led-to-leaders-ousters.html

The sudden surge of Armenian nationalism aimed at gaining control of Nagorno-Karabakh was followed by anti-Armenian rioting in the Azerbaijani city of Sumgait, in which 32 people died. A total of 35 people have been killed in the two republics since the dispute flared up more than five months ago. http://www.nytimes.com/1988/07/06/world/armenians-irate-at-party-conference-results-resume-wide-unrest.html

As many as one million people demonstrated in the Armenian capital of Yerevan in February to demand that Nagorno-Karabakh be made part of Armenia, and ethnic bloodshed followed in the Azerbaijani city of Sumgait, where at least 32 people died. Deputy Interior Minister Nikolai V. Demidov said today that more than 80 people have been arrested for the Sumgait clashes. http://www.nytimes.com/1988/04/19/world/pravda-talks-of-ethnic-woes.html

 * Baku, January 1990
 * President Mikhail S. Gorbachev said then that force was necessary because extremists of the Popular Front were seizing control of the republic. The situation had reached critical proportions a week earlier when Azerbaijani street demonstrations degenerated into raids on Baku's Armenian minority, separatist resistance grew along the republic's border with Iran and the Azerbaijani-Armenian feud over control of the enclave of Nagorno-Karabkah intensified.

https://www.nytimes.com/1988/09/11/weekinreview/the-world-armenia-and-its-neighbors-only-diverge.html In Sumgait, Azerbaijanis insist that the riots were deliberately provoked by Armenian provocateurs to make the Azerbaijanis look bad.

https://www.nytimes.com/1988/03/11/world/a-test-of-change-explodes-in-soviet.html Since that night, Armenians without hesitation have referred to the attack as a pogrom. Vilayat Guliyev, Velayat M. Kuliyev, an Azerbaijani writer and deputy director of the Azerbaijan Literary Institute in Baku, the Azerbaijani writer, blamed the violence on inflammatory statements by Armenians. The Armenians have always been the first to start conflicts, he said.
