The Khojaly genocide, one of the gravest crimes against humanity, will be forever etched in our minds as the bloodiest in history. In addition to killings of a significant number of peaceful Azerbaijanis, there is talk of horrors of torturing innocent people beyond what we can imagine, in particular of a Human Tragedy which is incomparable, for cruelty, with the horrific massacres at Katyn, Lidice, and Oradour.
On the night of February 25-26, 1992, the picturesquely situated city of Khojaly, southwestern Azerbaijan, was shelled from the military hardware of the 366th Motorized Rifle Regiment… The city, blocked from three sides, was invaded following the assault. Although the survivors of Khojaly – children, women and old people – went into the forests along the snow-covered passages, some of them, frozen and exhausted by the cold, were killed with special cruelty by Armenian armed formations on Askeran-Nakhchivanli plain.
