31 years have passed since the Khojaly genocide, one of the most terrible and tragic chapters in Azerbaijan's history
Tarix: 26-02-2023, 17:02
On the night of February 25-26 in 1992, the Armenian armed forces launched an armed attack with the support of the 366th motorized rifle regiment of the Soviet army stationed in the city of Khankendi with the aim of mass killing of the peaceful population of the city of Khojaly.
The Khojaly genocide is the gravest crime of genocide committed against peaceful Azerbaijani people in the course of Armenia’s aggressive war against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed forces with the military support of the infantry guards regiment destroyed Khojaly city and with particular brutality implemented carnage over the peaceful population. As a result, 613 people, including 106 women, 63 children and 70 older people were killed with special cruelty, 8 families were completely wiped out, 25 children lost both parents, 132 children lost one of their parents, 1275 people were taken hostage, and the fate of 150 of them is unknown. During the genocide, 56 people were killed with unprecedented cruelty, people were burned alive and subjected to terrible torture.
As a result of Armenia's Khojaly genocide against Azerbaijanis and the military aggression that was accompanied by the massacres at Baghanis Ayrim, Garadaghli, Aghdaban, and Bashlibel, up to 20% of our lands were occupied, 20,000 citizens were killed, and more than 50,000 people were injured or rendered disabled. Azerbaijan faced a great humanitarian crisis.
