BLOODY GENOCIDE COMMITTED BY ARMENIANS: KHOJALY GENOCIDE THAT BECAME A BLACK SEAL IN HISTORY

Khojaly, besieged by Armenian troops at the end of 1991, was a city with an area of ​​936 square kilometers, where 2,605 families lived and a total of 11,356 people. The next goal of the Armenians who occupied the city of Khankendi, which in December 1991 was recognized as the capital of Karabakh, was Khojaly.

The Armenians, who occupied all the villages and roads around Khojaly, cut off the road communication between the city and other provinces. Helicopter communication, which is the only connection between Khojaly and other regions, was destroyed on January 28, 1992, when the helicopter that made the Shusha-Aghdam expedition was shot down by the Armenians. This incident killed 44 civilians, mostly women and children.

The defense of Khojaly, deprived of electricity since January 1992, consisted only of lightly armed local defense forces and a small number of national army soldiers. Starting from February 25, 1992, the Armenians attacked Khojaly from three sides, using all the equipment of the 366th motorized rifle regiment of the Soviet Red Army, and for two hours held the city under artillery and tank fire.

A day after the attack, the “Khojaly genocide” took place, which will not be erased from memory for many years. According to official data, 613 Azerbaijani citizens were killed during the Khojaly genocide, including 106 women, 70 old people and 63 children. 487 people survived the brutal genocide with severe injuries. Armenian forces captured 1,275 people, 150 of whom are still unknown.
