Armenian communist party: "There is Narimanov statement of the 1920s in which is fixes that bodies of 26 commissars are buried"

"They told me this in our recent telephone calls", he told reporters Thursday.

He refutted the statements of Azerbaijani powers about the alleged move of Shaumyan and two other commissars to England.

"I have Narimanov's statement made during reburial of Baku commissars in Baku in the 1920s, in which he says that bodies of 26 commissars are buried", said he.

The actions of Azerbaijani powers, considers Tovmasyan, are aimed to terminate any trace, connected with Armenians.

"And this against the fact that Heydar Aliyev during the celebration of 100th jubilee of Shaumyan said "Stepan Shaumyan is a great son of not only the Armenian people, but also the Azerbaijani people", added he.

He said the world communist movement raised its voice of protest against demolition of the monument to 26 Baku commissars.

Tovmasyan announced that the Communist Party of Armenia appealed to the Armenian president to use all diplomatic and political means for reburial of the residuals of Stepan Shaumyan and his fellows in arms on the Armenian land. For this purpose, the head of the Communist Party has already appealed to the President with a request about the meeting.

He also added that the further steps of the Armenian Communist Party in this issue will depend on the outcome of his meeting with President Serzh Sargsyan.
