The Khojaly genocide, committed by Armenian armed forces on the night of February 25-26, 1992, remains one of the most tragic chapters in the history of Azerbaijan. During the massacre in the town of Khojaly, 613 civilians were killed, including 106 women, 63 children, and 70 elderly people. Every year, the people of Azerbaijan and state institutions commemorate the victims to ensure international recognition of the tragedy and to preserve the memory of those lost during the occupation of Azerbaijani territories.
