One of the most horrible tragedies, which Azerbaijan experienced in the 20th century, is the Khojaly genocide. It is like the genocides committed in Khatyn, Lidisia, Oradur reflected in the history of mankind.
In the early hours of February 26, the armed forces of Armenia, the armed Armenian militants of the Nagorno-Karabakh, and Motorized-Infantry Battalion No.366 of the former Soviet Union dislocated between Askaran and Khankendi (Stepanakert) occupied the town and committed genocide against Azerbaijanis.
On that night, when Armenians committed genocide in Khojaly, 613 peaceful residents were murdered with a special cruelty, tortured, beheaded and blinded. Pregnant women were bayoneted; among them were 63 children, 106 women and 70 elderly people.
