A commemorative event has been held in Moscow on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Khojaly genocide.

Vice-President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation Leyla Aliyeva attended the event, which was organized under “Justice for Khojaly” campaign.

The event featured the presentation of a book by Khojaly survivor Durdana Aghayeva, who was subjected to brutal torture and humiliation for many days in the Armenian captivity.

The commemorative event started with a minute of silence for the victims of Khojaly tragedy.

A total of 1,000 civilians became disabled in the genocide. Eight families were annihilated, 130 children lost one and 25 lost both parents.”

Leyla Aliyeva drew the audience`s attention to what has been done under “Justice for Khojaly” campaign to increase the world community`s awareness of Khojaly genocide.

She also hailed Azerbaijan-Russia relations, saying the two countries are bound together by ties of friendship and good neighborliness.

Azerbaijani ambassador to Russia Polad Bulbuloghlu thanked Leyla Aliyeva for initiating “Justice for Khojaly” campaign, which has played an important role in ensuring international recognition of this genocidal act.
