We will never forget the Khojaly genocide

Today, our people remember one of the most tragic events in its history – the victims of the Khojaly genocide. Armenian bandits and their hated leaders, who have committed bloody crimes not only against our people but against humanity in general, have not yet been punished.

In 1994, on the initiative of great leader Heydar Aliyev, the Azerbaijani parliament adopted February 26 as the Day of the Khojaly Genocide. At the initiative of the Great Leader, the Khojaly genocide was given a political and legal assessment.

Thanks to the activities of President Ilham Aliyev, First Vice President Mehriban Aliyeva, as well as Vice President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation Leyla Aliyeva, the parliaments of a number of countries and states have already adopted documents recognizing the genocide.

However, it should be noted that this year we commemorate the Khojaly genocide with different feelings than in previous years. Under the leadership of President, victorious Supreme Commander-in-Chief Ilham Aliyev, our brave army has shown Armenia the place it deserves. The enemy, which has been occupying our lands for 30 years, has fallen to its knees and surrendered. The whole world recognizes Azerbaijan as a winner and Armenia as a loser. The blood of Khojaly people did not remain on the ground, revenge was taken.

President Ilham Aliyev said at a press conference on February 26 this year: “Our main goal is to never forget this bloody crime, never to repeat it in Azerbaijan or in the world.

“Azerbaijan has never been as helpless as it was in the early 1990s, it has always been able to protect itself and its citizens.”
I ask God to bless the victims of the Khojaly tragedy.
