29 years pass since Khojaly Genocide

“The Khojaly genocide with its inconceivable
cruelty and inhuman punitive methods,
was completely targeted against the people
of Azerbaijan and represents a barbarian act
in the history of humankind. At the same time,
this genocide was a historical crime against humanity.”

Heydar Aliyev, national leader of Azerbaijan

29 years pass from the Khojaly Genocide, an integral part of the long-lasting aggression and ethnic cleansing policy of Armenia against Azerbaijan, resulted in mass and gross violation of international norms and principles, human rights and freedoms, engraved into the world history as a bloody tragedy. This massacre is another horrible evidence of the genocide policy of the Armenian nationalists and their supporters against the Azerbaijani people.

During the Khojaly genocide, 613 people were killed, 1,275 civilians were captured, and the fate of 150 of them is still unknown.

Throughout history, Armenian nationalists have committed bloody crimes, acts of terror and genocide against the Azerbaijani people.  However, the Azerbaijani people bravely passed these ordeals. As a result of the 44-day Patriotic War led by wise Azerbaijani President, Victorious Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Ilham Aliyev, Karabakh was liberated from the occupation and the people’s 30-year longing for the native land was ended. Our victorious army has avenged the innocent victims of this massacre.

As the staff of İnstitute of Biophysics, we respectfully bow our heads before the memory of all our martyrs! We will always be grateful to them, they will always live in our hearts!
