Baku / 18.01.18 / Turan: President Ilham Aliyev signed an order to hold events on the 100th anniversary of the genocide of Azerbaijanis. The head of state instructed his administration to prepare an action plan. There will also be a special session of the parliament. In March-April 2018, the Dashnak-Bolshevik detachments committed mass killings of Azerbaijanis in Baku and in the regions of Azerbaijan only because of their religious and ethnic background. Tens of thousands were killed, settlements, mosque houses, cemeteries, cultural monuments were destroyed. In 1998, the decree of the then President Heydar Aliyev in memory of the victims of the genocide on March 31 was declared "The Day of the Genocide of Azerbaijanis." 03D-
