Khojaly genocide victims honored in China
The Azerbaijani Embassy in China hosted a commemorative event to
mark the 23rd anniversary of Khojaly tragedy, AzerTag state news
agency reported.
The participants got acquainted with the photo-stand depicting the
tragedy moments, as well as the booklets, placards and books,
featuring the bloody crime committed by Armenians, released within
the “Justice for Khojaly” campaign headed by Leyla Aliyeva,
Vice-president of Heydar Aliyev Foundation.
The event was attended by Azerbaijani compatriots living and
studying in this country.
Embassy counselor Matin Mirza spoke of the atrocities of the
Armenian nationalists in Khojaly 23 years ago, noting that it was a
bloody crime not only against Azerbaijanis, but also against
humanity.
The Armenian aggressors who have become hostage of their own “Great
Armenia” obsession committed massacre against the Azerbaijani
people. The crime led to death of 613 people, including 106 women,
63 children, 70 old men.
The diplomat stressed the necessity of bringing the truth about the
Khojaly tragedy to the world community and make further efforts for
its recognition as a genocide.
