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, June 3— Andrei D. Sakharov spoke out today for his Government’s new strivings and against its old and continuing repressions, using the auditorium, microphones and translating services of the Soviet Foreign Ministry for words that not long ago would have been cause for criminal action.

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.

MOSCOW, March 8— Tens of thousands of Armenians held a silent march and vigil in the Armenian capital of Yerevan this afternoon in memory of those slain in the recent rampages in the neighboring republic of Azerbaijan, according to Armenians and Westerners who were present.
At the same time, outside a small Armenian church in Moscow, witnesses to the violence that swept through Armenian sections of the Azerbaijani cities of Sumgait and Kirovabad eight days ago told disjointed, tearful tales of rape and butchery to a group of about 300 people.

MOSCOW (AP) — The Kremlin yesterday told the thousands of soldiers it sent to the Caucasus to shoot if need be to halt bands of Azerbaijani and Armenians fighting each other in hills around the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh.
Thousands of Armenian refugees poured from the southern republic of Azerbaijan, many beaten or chased from their homes by angry mobs. Some blamed the attacks on Azerbaijani who earlier fled ethnic violence in Armenia.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 22— Khachatur Nagapityan, a track and field coach, came here from Soviet Armenia just two years ago, but he is ready to return whenever he is needed to fight for what he sees as his people’s survival. ”It happened once before, in 1915, and now history is being repeated,” he said, referring to the mass killings of Armenian civilians by the Ottoman Turks during World War I. Now, like many other Armenians and Armenian-Americans here, he was showing his helplessness and frustration after scores of his countrymen were reported killed last week in a dispute with Soviet Azerbaijanis.
