Egyptian “Al-Ahram International” newspaper writes about Khojaly genocide

Cairo, February 26 (AZERTAC). The Egypt-based “Al-Ahram International” newspaper has published an article entitled “The Khojaly genocide: silence of international community.” The article highlightes atrocities committed by the Armenian armed forces and 366 motor-infantry regiment of former USSR against innocent people of Azerbaijan in Khojaly. The author of the article says as a result of the bloodshed committed in Khojaly in 1992, 613 innocent civilians were killed and 1275 were taken hostage, while the fate of 150 remains unknown. “Twenty percent of Azerbaijani territories is under Armenian occupation.” The article goes on to say that legislative bodies of several countries have already given political and legal assessment to the Khojaly genocide. “The Khojaly tragedy was described as a crime against humanity in the final document adopted in the summit of the Organization of Islamic Conference held in February 2-7 in Cairo. Heads of state and government of OIC member states called the international community in the document to recognize the Khojaly tragedy as genocide.”
