Operative Information Center-OMM reports that the participants laid flowers at the memorial and paid tribute to the memory of the victims of the massacre.
The Khojaly genocide, committed by Armenian armed forces on the night of February 25-26, 1992, remains one of the most tragic events in Azerbaijan's history. During the attack on the town of Khojaly, 613 people were killed, including 106 women, 63 children, and 70 elderly persons. Every year, thousands of citizens, officials, and foreign diplomats visit the "Mother's Cry" monument to honor those who lost their lives during this act of ethnic cleansing and to demand international recognition of the tragedy.
