The Fort Scott Tribune – Jan 15, 1990

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.

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.

MOSCOW — Sonya, a 25-year-old Armenian woman, choked back tears as she told other refugees how Azerbaijanis ransacked her apartment and killed her mother last week in the southern Soviet republic of Azerbaijan.
The young woman is among tens of thousands of Armenians who have fled Azerbaijan in the past 10 days, many of the refugees bringing nothing with them but the clothes on their backs.

YEREVAN, U.S.S.R., Sept. 4— Two nights ago, more than 100,000 Armenians, defying an official ban and a heavy police cordon, streamed into the square in front of this city’s imposing stone opera house for a town meeting.
The vast crowd in the southern republic’s capital was reminiscent of those in the heady days last February when Armenians began their campaign to claim the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh, ruled by Azerbaijan. But there are two important differences.

MOSCOW (AP) – Warring nationalists agreed Thursday to a ceasefire along one of the tense battlefronts of the bloody conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, TASS said.
The announcement came as Baltic activists, worried that the dispute might affect their own peaceful push for independence, offered to help mediate the blood feud between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Under the state of emergency proclaimed Saturday over the signature of Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev, all public gathering and strikes are banned. But troops have generally not tried to disperse crowds, apparently fearing massive resistance.

Замораживая напряженные отношения в переговорах между Турцией и Европейским Союзом, подчеркивая русское и американское влияние, официальное признание Армянского геноцида напоминает дипломатический поединок. Не случайно то, что Кипр был второй страной в мире, которая признала Геноцид армян в 1982 году, за год до одностороннего провозглашения Турецкой Республики Северного Кипра.
