International recognition of the Khojaly massacre explained

The Khojaly massacre was the mass killing of at least 161 Azerbaijani civilians by Armenian forces and the 366th CIS regiment in the town of Khojaly on 25 February 1992.[1] It has been recognized and commemorated by acts adopted in fifteen countries and in 28 U.S. states.[2] [3]

Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan considers international recognition of the massacre as an important part of its foreign policy. The government of Azerbaijan refers to the event as a genocide, and aims to raising international awareness of the massacre, and its root causes within the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. In 2007, Heydar Aliyev Foundation organised an exhibition of photographs and children's paintings titled "Victims of aggression" in Brussels on 26 February,[4] and held commemorative ceremonies in Istanbul and 25 provinces of Turkey as a part of "Khojaly Week" in 19–26 February. On 14 February 2008, the same foundation organised a conference titled "Khojaly massacre and realities of 1915 events" in Berlin.[4]

Parliaments and governments

In recent years, parliaments of several countries have formally recognized the event as a massacre. The Hungarian party Jobbik stated, that they express solidarity with Azerbaijani people and issued statements during massacre's anniversary.[9] [10]
