Yes, but that is not what I wrote. What I attempted to convey was that they re-started 'started up again' in 1988 because they had survived the entire Soviet era, and are in fact very ancient. You can't just one day sit up and decide to hate Armenians or anybody else for that matter, as hard as the Azerbaijanis hate Armenians. This is why I have the remark that the Azeris are in fact a Turkish people-- i.e. the people which depopulated the entire region, where a tiny number of survivors happened to be able to hide away and eventually get a country.
