Azerbaijan, Baku, Feb. 28 / Trend /
The presentation of a film by the Turkish journalist Cem Oguz about a refugee from Khojaly Anar Usubov was held in Irvine with the support of the American Karabakh Foundation, the Turkish community in South California and the Azerbaijani Consulate General in Los Angeles, the Consulate General said.
The focus of the film is the fate of a young man who, despite the pain and loss experienced in early life, was able to build his life, never forgetting home in Karabakh. Author of the film Cem Oguz attended the presentation and answered questions of the audience.
In his turn, the Azerbaijani Consul General Elin Suleymanov stressed that mainly Khojaly tragedy and the fate of its inhabitants makes the rapid resolution of the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict necessary and IDPs' repatriation of internally displaced persons particularly acute.
Unfortunately, instead of expressing condolences for the Khojaly tragedy and regret over the participation of representatives of the Armenian diaspora of the United States in military crimes against civilian Azerbaijani population, the Armenian community's radical members prefer to organize propagandistic activities on the day of commemoration of the Khojaly tragedy victims.
Armenian armed forces with the help of the 366th motor-rifling regiment occupied Azerbaijan's Khojaly city and committed genocide, killing hundreds of innocent people because of their ethnic background on February 26, 1992. As a result, 613 people were savagely killed, 487 were injured, and 1,275 people were taken into hostage. The fates of many of them are still unknown. After the 366th motor-rifling regiment's withdrawal from Khankendi, a major part of the military equipment owned by this military unit was transferred to the Armenian separatists.
