The Khojaly Massacre

The Khojaly Massacre occurred on February 26, 1992, in the town of Khojaly in the Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan, resulting in a large-scale mass killing of Azerbaijani civilians. This attack was carried out by the Armenian Armed Forces and their supporters, and according to official figures, 613 Azerbaijani civilians lost their lives, hundreds were seriously injured, and 1,275 people were taken hostage. The massacre went down in history as one of the bloodiest incidents in the ongoing war over Nagorno-Karabakh between Azerbaijan and Armenian forces. The presence of women, children, and the elderly among the victims, as well as the discovery of evidence of torture and brutality, made the incident even more horrific. The Khojaly Massacre is recorded as one of the largest civilian massacres of the 20th century and is considered a war crime on the international stage. Following this event, Khojaly was completely evacuated and occupied by Armenian forces. Today, on the anniversaries of the Khojaly Massacre, commemorative ceremonies are held in many countries, especially in Azerbaijan and Turkey, and the events are remembered as a major crime against humanity directed at civilians.
