Turkish MFA issues statement on Khojaly genocide anniversary

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Türkiye has issued a statement on the occasion of the anniversary of the Khojaly genocide, The Daily Baku reports.

In the statement, the ministry condemned the massacre carried out against innocent civilians in the city of Khojaly, located in Azerbaijan’s Karabakh region, on February 26, 1992.“The atrocity committed in Khojaly continues to remain a shameful black stain on the conscience,” the statement said.

The ministry noted that it always carries in its heart the pain of the 613 Azerbaijanis who were killed, as well as those who were wounded, taken captive and went missing.

Extending condolences to the Azerbaijani people, the ministry expressed prayers for mercy upon those who lost their lives in the Khojaly genocide.
