KHOJALY, LIDICE TO BE TWIN TOWNS
Baku, February 22 (AZERTAC). The Azerbaijani town of Khojaly will be twinned with Lidice in Czechia.
The relevant protocol will be signed by two governors in Lidice on February 26 when Khojaly commemorates the 18th anniversary of its genocide which saw Armenians brutally kill hundreds of civilian Azerbaijanis in the town.
Lidice experienced the same destiny when it was razed to the ground by the Nazis in 1942.
The signing ceremony, to be co-organized by the Azer-Czech Society and Azeri embassy in Prague, will bring together parliamentarians from both countries, members of the Azeri diaspora and representatives of the diplomatic corps in Czechia.
The ceremony will also feature a Heydar Aliyev Foundation-made photo exhibition and documentary on the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
Earlier this month Lidice`s Government decided to name one of the streets in the city after Khojaly.
