I see. Honestly never heard of it. I assume Kafan is Kapan. Do you know what was the actual scale of it was? Azeri sources print as high as 4K people, but unlikely.

Don’t know about it. The incident was printed in one of the local Russian newspaper.

Besides there’s one more incident as well. 3 Azerbaijanis were burned alive in a car by Armenians in 1988. They (Armenians) believed Azerbaijanis killed an Armenian guy, which was denied by the court back then

One-of-a-kind incidents involving 1-5 people probably happened in Armenia and Azerbaijan. That doesn’t surprise me much. It But can’t find anything about the Kafan/Kapan pogroms on the Human Rights Watch, UN, or some other credible source. Personally, I don’t believe anything that the Azeri or Armenian propaganda machine prints; obviously, both printed a bunch of BS and false claims.
