The statement reads:

"On the night of February 25 to 26, 1992, the civilian population in the Azerbaijani town of Khojaly was subjected to massacre. As many as 613 people, including 106 women, 63 children and 70 old people were killed, hundreds of people were severely injured and 1,275 people were taken hostage as a result of the massacre.

The group is of the view that the Khojaly massacre as a big stain in the history of humanity, stressing that those who are responsible for Khojaly massacre should be brought to justice. With deep sorrow and sympathy, the group pays tribute to the memory of the victims of the Khojaly massacre committed in Azerbaijan‘s Nagorno-Karabakh region 29 years ago as it was the darkest chapter in the Armenia- Azerbaijan conflict. The group wishes God’s mercy upon those who lost their lives in that massacre and extends its condolences to the bereaved families and all Azerbaijani people."
