28 years have passed since Khojali genocide, committed as a result of Armenian vandalism, which our people will never forget. It should be noted that in connection with the anniversary of Khojali genocide, thousands of people who read prayers for the souls of hundreds of innocent people who died that terrible night visit every February 26 "Mother's Cry" memorial complex dedicated to bloody memory of Azerbaijani people - Khojali genocide. In spite of that 28 years have passed since the tragedy, it is remembered on February 26 with the same pain and sorrow.
It should be recalled that Armenian armed detachments, with the support of armoured vehicles and military personnel of the 366th motorized rifle regiment in Khankandi attacked Khojali city on the night of February 25th to 26th, 1992. Before the assault, the city was subjected to fierce shelling from cannons and heavy armoured vehicles starting from the evening of February 25. In such a situation, about 2500 people trapped in the blockade of Armenians were forced to leave the city in the hope of reaching the centre of the nearest Aghdam region. But they did not succeed. Armenian militias and soldiers of motorized rifle regiment, who levelled the city with the ground, brutally massacred civilian population. As a result of the genocide, 613 people were killed, 487 were injured, and 1275 were captured.
