A series of commemorative events dedicated to the 33rd anniversary of the Khojaly genocide were held at the Azerbaijan State Agrarian University (ADAU). The event, which took place in the administrative building, was attended by the university's faculty, students and living witnesses of the Khojaly tragedy.
The event began with the playing of the National Anthem and a minute of silence in memory of the martyrs.
Speaking, the University's Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs, Ahmad Malikov, emphasized that the Khojaly tragedy left a deep mark on the history of Azerbaijan and that this tragedy will never be forgotten. He noted the importance of conveying the true voice of the Azerbaijani people to the world community.
Then, a video clip about Khojaly was shown.
The speaker, the head teacher of the Social Studies Department, Chinara Safarova, provided extensive information about the atrocities committed by Armenian armed groups in Khojaly and spoke about the importance of recognizing the tragedy in the international community.
Residents of the Khojaly region, Samaya Mirzayeva, Nasimi Mammadov, and an eyewitness to the tragedy, head of the teaching department of the Ganja State Agrarian College, Aliya Abbasova, shared their memories of the tragedy. They conveyed the terrible events they experienced that night to the participants of the event and emphasized the importance of not forgetting the Khojaly genocide.
In the artistic part of the event, ADAU students Arzu Rustamova, Leyla Hasanli, Ruslan Novruzaliyev, and Sama Mammadova recited poems dedicated to Khojaly.
At the event held at the Faculty of Agrarian Economics on the theme “Khojaly Tragedy: A Bloody History Engraved in Memory”, the National Anthem was first sung, and then the dear memory of the victims of the Khojaly tragedy, as well as the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the freedom and territorial integrity of our Motherland, was commemorated with a minute of silence.
Speaking, Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs Ahmad Malikov drew attention to the fact that the Khojaly tragedy was part of the ethnic cleansing and occupation policy historically carried out by Armenians against our people, and said that the Khojaly tragedy, which went down in world history as one of the most terrible acts of genocide, is a chilling example of the ethnic separatism, hatred of other peoples, and terrorist ideology carried out by Armenian nationalism for hundreds of years, which is shameful to humanity.
In his speech, the head of the Department of Social Sciences, Elgun Aslanov, said that the Khojaly tragedy is the bloody memory of the Azerbaijani people, as well as the path of struggle and freedom that they have been going through for centuries. The head of the department emphasized that thanks to the decisive policy of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, President Ilham Aliyev, and the courage of the glorious Azerbaijani Army, our occupied lands, including Khojaly, were liberated and entered a new stage of development.
Associate Professor of the Department of Social Sciences Sevda Abdullayeva emphasized that informing the world community about the Khojaly genocide has always been among the important directions of President Ilham Aliyev's activities and spoke in detail about the exceptional services of our state, First Vice-President, President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation Mehriban Aliyeva in promoting this terrible crime at the international level. Second-year student Banuchicek Atakishiyeva recited the poem "Khojaly". At the end, a video clip reflecting the Khojaly tragedy was watched.
At the events held on the occasion of the 33rd anniversary of the Khojaly genocide at the faculties of Engineering and Soil Science and Agrochemistry, speakers spoke about the inhuman atrocities committed by Armenians against the peaceful residents of Khojaly, women, the elderly, and children. It was noted that as a result of this genocide committed not only against the Azerbaijani people, but against all humanity, 613 residents of Khojaly, including 106 women, 63 children, and 70 elderly people, were killed with particular cruelty, 1,275 people were taken prisoner, and the fate of 150 of them remains unknown to this day. 8 families were completely destroyed, 25 children lost both of their parents, and 130 children lost one of their parents. 487 people, including 76 children, became lifelong disabled due to the severe physical and psychological torture they were subjected to. When the Khojaly genocide was committed, the Geneva Conventions “On the Protection of War Victims” were grossly violated.
The University's Main Library, ADAU THIK and ADAU TGT jointly organized an event entitled “Khojaly - Revenge Born from Tragedy” dedicated to the 33rd anniversary of the Khojaly genocide.
