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.

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

MOSCOW, July 10— ”Our young women greeted the soldiers with flowers when they came in a few months ago,” a Yerevan resident, Samson Tomazyan, said today, a few minutes before he rose to address an angry crowd gathered at Moscow’s Armenian cemetery. ”They won’t be giving them flowers anymore.”
On July 5, the sporadic violence spawned by a resurgent territorial dispute between Armenia and neighboring Azerbaijan came home to Yerevan, the capital of Armenia. A 22-year-old demonstrator killed and 36 were wounded during a strike that shut down the main airport for at least 24 hours.

MOSCOW, July 18— The Soviet Government today rejected appeals that it accommodate a southern enclave’s desire to break away from the republic of Azerbaijan, the press agency Tass said.
News of the unanimous decision was withheld from the main evening news broadcast, and a news conference that had been called to explain the decision of the emergency session of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, the executive committee of the national legislature, was abruptly canceled.

MOSCOW, July 12— American diplomats here are bracing for an explosive increase in Soviet emigration to the United States under a law now being drafted that would lift long-standing restrictions on who can leave the country.
Western diplomats said the new law could increase last year’s flood of emigres to the United States manyfold, and prompt a wrenching re-examination of America’s open-door policy toward Soviet immigration.

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, July 12— In a brash symbolic move likely to worsen a five-month territorial dispute, the ruling legislature of a predominantly Armenian enclave voted today to secede from Azerbaijan, the republic that has ruled the enclave for 64 years.
