Baku / 30.03.19 / Turan: The Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan made a statement in connection with the Day of the Genocide of Azerbaijanis celebrated on March 31. This is a day to commemorate the victims of the massacres of Azerbaijanis committed in the spring of 1918 by Armenian nationalists. The statements of the Foreign Ministry reads that massacres on the basis of national discrimination and ethnic cleansing were committed on the basis of a pre-planned and brutally implemented policy. Acting under the mandate of the Baku Council, Dashnak-Bolshevik detachments committed massacres in Baku and Baku province and other regions. Tens of thousands of people were killed. Only in the Guba region 16 thousand people died.
In the late 1980s Armenia has launched a new phase of aggression and ethnic cleansing against the Azerbaijani people. Over one million Azerbaijanis were expelled from the occupied territories as a result of ethnic cleansing, war crimes such as the March massacre, including the Khojaly genocide, were committed. Condemning this policy, the Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan notes the importance of the end of such impunity for Armenia. -06D--
