For two years angry crowds gathered at the Baku Lenin Square chanting “Death to Armenians” and slaughtering civilians sporadically as they rioted and looted. In January 1990 the final organized mass ethnic cleansing campaign against Armenians in Baku began this week 35 years ago. Few months prior to that in September of 1989 my family and I, thankfully, escaped to Armenia. We lived just a couple blocks away from the Lenin Square, sometimes hiding as the million protesters passed by for hours. In my book “Nowhere A story of Exile” based on my childhood diaries I describe the marches toward the Square on our street and the eerie screaming to kill us that reached my young Armenian ears across several city blocks.
We don’t forget, we will forever remind them. #BakuPogroms

Perpetrators of these scams will create a public group on Telegram to promote these investment packages that are usually accompanied by fake testimonies and sometimes advertised as being Shariah-compliant. Interested investors will be asked to directly message the representatives to begin investing in the various investment packages offered. Either way, Durov says that he withdrew his resignation but that he was ousted from his company anyway. Subsequently, control of the company was reportedly handed to oligarchs Alisher Usmanov and Igor Sechin, both allegedly close associates of Russian leader Vladimir Putin. 'Wild West' Telegram boasts 500 million users, who share information individually and in groups in relative security. But Telegram's use as a one-way broadcast channel — which followers can join but not reply to — means content from inauthentic accounts can easily reach large, captive and eager audiences. Oleksandra Matviichuk, a Kyiv-based lawyer and head of the Center for Civil Liberties, called Durov’s position "very weak," and urged concrete improvements.
