Failed verification: Pogrom perpetratros turned National Heroes/gaining high positions in the government

Quote: Indeed, many of the perpetrators of the pogrom gained titles of national heroes and/or high positions in the government, where they still serve today.

The following link were provided to support the statement of pogrom perpetrators turning "national heroes" or obtaining "high positions in the government"

Link: https://web.archive.org/web/20141116204518/http://www.regnum.ru/news/1131088.html

The source is an archivised news outlet describing the excerpts of the Russian writer Viktor Krivopuskov's speech at the Russo-Armenian Friendship Society event in Yerevan, Armenia.

The problem is that no name of any of the Sumgait pogrom perpetrators is mentioned in the source let alone information that any of them gained a "national hero" title in Azerbaijan.

In addition, there is no mention of "obtaining positions in the government" proper.

As the matter of fact, the source is from 2009 which can hardly be an evidence for what happens today, in 2024. Hew Folly (talk) 21:12, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This appears to be false info. Should be removed. Grandmaster 07:36, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
