International recognition of the Khojaly massacre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Khojaly massacre is currently recognized and commemorated by parliamentary acts adopted in fifteen countries and in twenty-three 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]

International organizations[]

International organizations officially recognising the Khojaly Massacre include:

Parliaments and governments[]

Commonwealth of Massachusetts Citation for acknowledgment of the 18th commemoration of Khojaly massacre.

In recent years, parliaments of several countries have formally recognized the event as a massacre. The Hungarian party Jobbik stated, that they express solidarity with Azerbaijani people and issued statements during massacre's anniversary.[8][9]
