The blood of the 612 Azerbaijani nations is one the hands of the Armenian forces and it will not go in vain.

The Armenian government tried to hide this crime but every year the demand for justice for the Khojaly martyrs is increasing. The parliaments of more than 15 countries have acknowledged Khojaly as genocide and it’s increasing every day.

Every year there are seminars and people arranged walks to pay tribute to the victims of Khojaly genocide.

The Khojaly memorial also called Mother’s Cry Monument is located in the Khatai district of Baku, Azerbaijan. This crying mother carrying the dead body of a child is a big question mark to the whole world as she is begging for the justice and to make accountable the killers of her child but the world is silent in front of all Armenians aggression and war crimes.
