OIC Secretary General commemorates Khojaly massacre victims
Baku, February 26 (AZERTAC). On the occasion of the 22nd anniversary of the massacre in the Azerbaijani town of Khojaly, the Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Iyad Ameen Madani, has paid tribute to all those innocent people who lost their lives during that atrocity in 1992.
The Secretary General reiterated that what made the Khojaly massacre possible was the illegal occupation of Azerbaijan territory by Armenia. He referred to the resolution adopted by the 40th Session of the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers held in Conakry, Republic of Guinea, in 2013, which considered the actions perpetrated against civilian Azerbaijani population in the occupied Azerbaijani territories as crimes against humanity.
The Secretary General further reiterated the full support of the OIC to the initiatives and efforts of the Republic of Azerbaijan to put an end to the occupation of its territories and to restore its territorial integrity.
He also expressed his deep condolences to the people of Azerbaijan who lost their loved ones in the Khojaly massacre.
