Khojaly massacre victims remembered in Hague

HAGUE, NETHERLANDS - FEBRUARY 24: Hundreds of people take part in a protest rally in front of Khojaly Genocide Monument in Hague, the Netherlands on February 24, 2019, on the occasion of the 27th anniversary of Khojaly Massacre, which happened in February 1992 when hundreds of Azerbaijani citizens including women and children were massacred and wounded by Armenian troops. The Khojaly Massacre is regarded as one of the bloodiest and most controversial incidents of the war between Armenia and Azerbaijan for control of the now-occupied Upper Karabakh region. On the heels of the Soviet Union's dissolution, Armenian forces took over the town of Khojaly in Karabakh on Feb. 26, 1992, after battering it with heavy artillery and tanks, assisted by an infantry regiment.
