The Turkish people will never forgive perpetrators of the Khojaly tragedy, CNN Turk quoted leader of the Turkish opposition Nationalist Movement Party Devlet Bahceli as saying.

"Our people will never forget the mass killing of civilians by Armenian armed gangs," Bahceli said.
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 366th motor-rifling regiment's withdrawal from Khankendi major part of the military equipment owned by this military unit was transferred to the Armenian separatists.
