Azerbaijan, Baku, May 19 / Trend , A.Huseynbala/
Some Azerbaijani parliamentarians have sent an address to the prime minister.
"Eight parliamentarians applied to Prime Minister Artur Rasizade and asked to allocate funds from public budget to form a museum at the graveyard of mass genocide victims committed by Armenians in Guba in 1918," First Deputy of the Azerbaijani ex-premier and Parliamenterian Vahid Ahmadov told Trend on May 19.
Mass people's grave was discovered when constructing a stadium in Guba which is located in 170 kilometers north of Baku in mid-April 2007. Immediately after it, an expedition group was formed and an archeological excavation was conducted. Historians and archeologists determined that the mass graveyard was formed as a result of genocide in Guba committed by Armenians in 1918. So far, excavations were conducted at some channels and over 200 human bones were found.
Ahmadov said the address did not indicate an exact amount of the funds.
"The Guba graveyard is our important history and a museum must be formed there to publicize this history to the world community. Most of houses should be moved and road should be laid with this purpose," the parliamentarian said.
Ahmadov said besides him, other Azerbaijani parliamentarians, including Ganira Pashayeva, Havva Mammadova, Aydin Hasanov, Musa Guliyev, Baba Tagiyev, Zahid Oruj and Yevda Abramov signed this address.
