London, UK. 25th February 2017. A march to Parliament in London commemorated the 25th anniversary of the Khojaly Massacre in Azerbaijan and called for justice. On the night of 25-26 February 1992, Armenian forces brutally killed 613 civilians in the town of Khojaly, including 106 women and 83 children. Refugees fleeing the town which had been surrounded by Armenian forces were attacked and unprotected civilians slaughtered; many were scalped or otherwise mutilated. The Justice for Khojaly Campaign aims to compel the Armenian Government to make an official apology, make full reparations and bring those responsible for war crimes to justice. Armenia still occupies around 20% of the internationally recognised territories of Azerbaihan despite UN Security Council resolutions calling for unconditional, immediate and full withdrawal of its forces.
