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.

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-
