Khojaly massacre - one of bloodiest tragedies of 20th century: Turkey

Khojaly massacre is one of the bloodiest tragedies of the 20th century, Turkish Armed Forces tweeted on Feb. 26.

Turkey hasn't forgotten the Khojaly tragedy and won't let it be forgotten, said the Turkish Armed Forces.

Turkey commemorates Azerbaijanis brutally murdered by Armenians in 1992, said the tweet.

On Feb. 25-26, 1992, the Armenian armed forces, together with the 366th infantry regiment of Soviet troops, stationed in Khankendi, committed an act of genocide against the population of the Azerbaijani town of Khojaly. As many as 613 people, including 63 children, 106 women and 70 old people were killed in the massacre. Eight families were totally exterminated, 130 children lost one parent and 25 children lost both. Some 1,275 innocent residents were taken hostage, while the fate of 150 people still remains unknown.
