The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a statement regarding the 34th anniversary of the Aghdaban tragedy.
“Elchi” reports that the statement says:
“34 years have passed since the Aghdaban tragedy, one of the numerous grave and brutal war crimes committed by Armenia against Azerbaijanis.
In 1992, the village of Aghdaban in Kalbajar, consisting of 130 houses, was completely destroyed by Armenian armed groups, and the settlement was left in total ruin.
A total of 779 civilians were subjected to severe torture, and 67 people were brutally murdered with exceptional cruelty.
This tragedy remains in history as one of the painful examples of grave crimes committed against the Azerbaijani people.
We commemorate the victims of Aghdaban with deep sorrow and respect.
May God have mercy on all our martyrs!”
