Twenty-three years pass since the occupation of Azerbaijan's Kalbajar district.

Launching a large-scale military operation on March 27 in 1993, the Armenian armed forces occupied Kalbajar on April 2.

As a result, 511 people were killed in Kalbajar, which has a territory of 1,936 square meters. As many as 321 people were captured and went missing.

Fifty-five soldiers were killed during the fights, while 132 settlements were captured by Armenians.

Armenian occupiers destroyed more than 500 industrial, construction, catering and retail facilities, 97 schools and 76 health facilities. Kalbajar district's 53,340 residents became IDPs.

After Kalbajar's occupation, the UN Security Council adopted the resolution 822 demanding the immediate withdrawal of Armenian forces from the district and other occupied areas of Azerbaijan.

Armenia has not fulfilled the resolution.
