Baku pogrom

Six days of organised anti-Armenian violence in Baku, 13–19 January 1990, that ended the Armenian community of the city, once the largest urban Armenian population in the Caucasus. Casualty estimates of 90–300 Armenian dead. Followed on 19/20 January by Soviet army "Black January" intervention against demonstrators, which killed over 130 Azerbaijani civilians and politically birthed the independent Azerbaijani Republic. The two events are inseparable in causation though distinct in victims.
