Turkish Parliament Speaker issues statement on Khojaly genocide
Baku, February 26 (AZERTAC). Chairman of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey Cemil Cicek has issued a statement on the occasion of the 22nd anniversary of the Khojaly genocide.
He called the Khojaly genocide “a big stain in the history of humanity”, stressing that “the culprits of the massacre must be brought to international justice”.
The Speaker noted that one of the biggest massacres of the 20th century was committed by Armenia in the occupied Nagorno Karabakh region: “Armenia, which keeps 20% of the territory of Azerbaijan under occupation, forced hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijani Turks away from their homelands lands. Those who are responsible for Khojaly genocide should be brought to justice.”
