Egypt-based Youm7 newspaper has published an article about the Khojaly genocide committed by Armenian armed forces against civilians in February 25-26, 1992.

The article was published on the basis of a statement of the Azerbaijani Embassy in Egypt.

The author of the article describes the massacre committed by the Armenian armed forces and 366 motor-infantry regiment of former USSR against innocent people of Azerbaijan as one of the most horrible tragedies. The article says realities about the Khojaly tragedy were spread widely in the world. Legislative bodies of several countries have already given political and legal assessment to this genocide. The Khojaly tragedy was described as a crime against humanity in the final document adopted in the summit of the Organization of Islamic Conference held in February 2-7 in Cairo. Heads of state and government of OIC member states called the international community in the document to recognize the Khojaly tragedy as genocide.
