Armenia
Time Monday, Nov. 28, 1988
By PAUL HOFHEINZ YEREVAN
Almost every day for five weeks, a group of Armenians had huddled in the winter chill in front of Moscow’s six-story Supreme Court building, slapping their arms against the sides of their brown fur coats to keep warm. Their breath burst forth in clouds of pale steam as they talked quietly to one another, discussing the fate of those on trial.

130 Died, Sakharov Says
November 26, 1988
The Soviet human-rights campaigner Andrei D. Sakharov asserted yesterday that more than 130 Armenians had been killed by Azerbaijani mobs in the city of Kirovabad during the spreading ethnic unrest in the southern Soviet republics of Armenia and Azerbaijan.
”With the authorities’ connivance, the murders, rapes and arsons are continuing now for a fifth day and are spreading to other cities and towns of Azerbaijan,” Mr. Sakharov said in a statement from Newton, Mass. Continue reading

The Capture of Trebizond
Feilding Star, Volume XII, Issue 2922, 20 April 1916
The success of the Russian forces in the trans-Caucasian region down through Armenia even into Persia has been the most notable record of the Allies in 1916. The importance of the conquest of Erzeroum the capital of Armenia, was acknowledged even by Germany. What will the Central Powers and their Turkish and Bulgarian allies have to say now about the conquest of Trabizond. This latter capture is of the first importance, for it not only gives the Russians an important naval base on the south-east coast of the Black See and control of the seaboard of Asiatic Turkey, but it control, the chief place of import for Persia.
Also, it cuts in two completely the Turko-German forces in Armenia, it stops up the source of supply for men, munitions, and food for the enemy, and it so very seriously menaces Bagdad that the fall of that great objective of the Russo-Turkish forces can now be a matter of but a very short campaign.

Armenia and Its Neighbors Only Diverge
By BILL KELLER
Published: September 11, 1988
YEREVAN, U.S.S.R.— ONE balmy evening several days ago on the plaza outside the city opera house, a group of Armenians were playing Yerevan’s favorite guessing game: What if Armenia broke off from the Soviet Union and declared its independence? One man argued that this would be suicide. Armenia is a Christian island semi-surrounded by Moslims, including the historically hostile Turks. Alone, Armenia would perish, he said. But look at Israel, retorted a university student. A few million Jews in a sea of Arabs, but strong and free. Armenia can do the same. This won a murmur of approval.

THE WORLD; Gorbachev Is Feeling the Heat From the South
March 6, 1988
By PHILIP TAUBMAN
MOSCOW— MIKHAIL S. GORBACHEV begins his fourth year as Soviet leader this week probably worried less about the state of the economy than the stability of the state.
The nationalist unrest that shook the southern republics of Azerbaijan and Armenia in the last two weeks was a powerful reminder that for all the talk of economic and spiritual decay in the Soviet Union, ethnic instability may be the greatest long-term threat to the future of the country.
