International recognition of the Khojaly massacre

The Khojaly massacre is currently recognized and commemorated by parliamentary acts adopted in ten countries and in twenty one states of the United States of America.[1][2]

Azerbaijan

International recognition of the massacre is an important part of Azerbaijan's foreign policy. The government of Azerbaijan refers to the massacre as a genocide, and aims to raise international public awareness of the massacre, and its root causes in the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. A photo and children's paintings exhibition titled "Victims of aggression", which was organised by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation in Brussels on 26 February 2007,[3] is a part of activities to promote international recognition of the massacre. In the same year the Heydar Aliyev Foundation held commemorative ceremonies in Istanbul and 25 provinces of Turkey as a part of "Khojaly Week" events program on February 19–26. On 14 February 2008 a conference titled "Khojaly massacre and realities of 1915 events" held in Berlin.[3]
