Numerous events dedicated to the 26th anniversary of the Khojaly genocide are being held in Germany, the Azerbaijan’s embassy to Germany told Trend.

According to the information, one of the events was held in Berlin on Feb. 24, 2018 jointly by the Ataturk Think Association, the Azerbaijani Science Workers’ and Students’ Union, the Azerbaijani House and the Turkey—Azerbaijan Union.

The event was opened by Ambassador Ramin Hasanov’s speech, who spoke about the Armenian occupation of Azerbaijan’s territories and deep scars the Khojaly genocide has left on Azerbaijani people’s conscience.

He noted that the Azerbaijani government and the Heydar Aliyev Foundation are working on bringing the truth about Armenian violence to the world community.

The ambassador underlined the importance of the “Justice to Khojaly” campaign initiated by the Foundation’s vice-president Leyla Aliyeva and its results.

Ramin Hasanov said that Azerbaijani and Turkish diasporas have to work together to remember the tragedy, bring it to the world community’s attention and called representatives of the diasporas to be even more active in the future.
