Twenty one years ago today the Azerbaijani authorities instigated the pogroms of Armenian population in Baku.
About 400 Armenians were killed and 200 thousand were exiled during the period of January 13-19, 1990. The exact number of those killed was never determined, as no investigation was carried out into the crimes.
On January 13, a crowd numbering 50 thousand people divided into groups and started "cleaning" the city from Armenians.
In total, about half a million of people had to leave Azerbaijan, most of them fleeing to Armenia.
