The March Days brought underlying tensions between Armenians and Azerbaijanis to the fore . Less than six months after the March massacres , when the Ottoman-Azerbaijani force entered Baku , the city fell into chaos and nearly 10,000 Armenians were massacred . A special commission formed by the Armenian National Council ( ANC ) reported a total of 8,988 ethnic Armenians massacred , among whom were 5,248 Armenian inhabitants of Baku , 1,500 Armenian refugees from other parts of the Caucasus who were in Baku , and 2,240 Armenians whose corpses were found in the streets but whose identities were never established . Although these figures were gathered by the Armenian National Council , and have been questioned by some , given the general run of events , they were unlikely to be greatly exaggerated
