At night from February 25 to 26 in 1992 the Armenian armed forces occupied the town of Khojaly of Azerbaijan. The occupation was carried out with active support of several units of the Russian Army's 366th regiment. Occupation of Khojaly was followed with unprecedented brutalities against the civilian population. In a few hours the aggressors killed 613 innocent and unarmed people. Among them were 106 women, 83 children. 56 people were killed with special brutality. 8 families were totally exterminated. 25 children were totally, and 130 children were partly orphaned. 476 people became disabled persons (of them 76 were minors). 1275 people were taken into hostage and even though afterwards most of the hostages were released from captivity, the fates of 150 of them are still unknown.

Azerbaijani Society in Manchester arranges this event in order to commemorate victims of Khojaly Tragedy. We would like to invite you all to attend Khojaly Commemoration Action and protest Armenian vandalism against innocent people of Khojaly.
