Azerbaijani's Evidence

Ходжалы. Хроника геноцида

L. Hajiyeva, Azerbaijan Secretary of State
(In the meeting with the Azerbaijan soldiers in 1992, State Secretary of Azerbaijan L. Gajieva made a statement)

“During one hundred days we were firing to town of Stepanakert from different guns, but Armenians didn’t leave their homeland”. Khojaly was stuffed with military equipment, armament and ammunitions. However, besides firings, on this township was also assigned to another more important task: full blocking and demolition of the only airport in Karabakh. Damaging of runway in the autumn of 1991 meant, that the last route, connecting Nagorno Karabakh with the rest of the world, was cut.


Rafik Bey
Azerbaijan MNB High-ranking Officer

Just a couple of months after the tragedy in the interview to reporter E. Abaskulieva he witnesses, that in the report of MNS addressed to Ministry of Defense dated on February 18 was it was stated: “According to the statement of Sargsyan (Serzh) it is planned to occupy Khojaly in the nearest future”. Moreover, Bey also points to one more report of MNS addressed to Ministry of Defense on February 21, “about build-up of forces and arming up of Armenian soldiers with exact number of people in every post in the nearby villages, populated by Armenians, and about weaponry, that they have”. (“Izvestiya”, April 1992)

Elman Mamedov
Mayor of Khojaly

 February 25 at 2030 PM was recived a message, that enemy's tanks and BMP had taken up military position around the town. We informed all about it by portable radio transmitter. (Apropos, I was also telephoning to Aghdam and informed, that Armenian soldier we seized told us about forthcoming attack… No reaction). I asked to send helicopters to evacuate old people, women, and children. However, the help didn’t come.
Town assault started with artillery bombardment, which proceeded for two hours, E. Mamedov goes on. Armenian soldiers shot from tanks, APCs and “Alazan” projectiles. We were blocked from three sides, only Askeran direction was open. Everything was destroyed in Khojalu, and many people died when Armenian infantry attacked. We defended sitting in trenches until 2 am. Defenders and population of the town started to retreat, unable to push back the attacks. We were going to the direction of Ketiyinian Mountain, crossing the river with icy water.

«We knew that this corridor purpose was to evacuate civilians…»

Fahmin Hadjyiev
Azerbaijan Internal Security Troops Commander

Heydar Aliyev and his team are guilty in Khojaly tragedy. For that time Heydar Aliyev was the Chairman of Nakhijevan Milli Majlis and was personally sending people from NAR to Aghdam and Khojalu. Those people propagandizing the idea of nonresistance. They inculcated in the minds of inhabitants the idea that the Karabakh issue will not be settled until Heydar Aliyev is in power.

Salman Abbasov
56-year-old Khojaly inhabitant

- A few days before the tragedy Armenians repeatedly informed us by portable radio transmitter that they are going to seize the town, and demanded us to leave it, - trying to overcome the pain in legs, said Salman Kishi. – Helicopters did not arrive for a long time to Khojaly, and it was equivocal, does anyone think about our destiny, does anyone interested in it.
We practically did not get any help. More than, when it was possible to evacuate from the town old men, women and children, we were dissuaded. We were promised, that soon will be undertaken the attack with the purpose to seize Askeran and Khojaly blockade breakage. We will never live that long…
Why they should have deceived us that way, for what died our children, who is going to be responsible for that?
(Khojaly. Genocide Chronicles. Baku 1993, page 31, publishing house Azerneshr, author Elmira Akhundova, editors Sabir Rustamkhanly, Chingiz Aliogly, Fuad Farajev).

Population's small part, crossed the river Gar-Gar, and passing through the forests reached the town of Aghdam.

Rustam Hajiyev

Yagub Mamedov
Azerbaijan Supreme Soviet Chairman

“In the interview to Azerbaijan television correspondent Yagub Mamedov frankly stated, that he knows well persons responsible for Khojaly tragedy. It wasn't about Armenian side.” (“Ogonyok”, #14-15, 1992)

“How it could ever happen, that Khojaly was in blockade for 4 months, and the Azerbaijan people didn’t give it a hand? Why women and children weren’t evacuated out of the blockade in time? Who deliberately betrayed our mothers, sisters, and our children giving them into the hands of these barbarians? Khojaly victims’ blood will not remain unforgiven…”
("Russkaya misl")

 

Tamerlan Karaev

As was written in “Ogonyok” of April 1992, “Aliev had watched what’s going on from Nakhchivan. And this is Bilik-Dunyasi agency message, which appeared almost one month before. “Meydan Hero”, named by Aliev “National-democratic movement initiator in Azerbaijan” - Neymat Panakhli informed, that “on the Khojaly tragedy eve he appealed to Aliev with request, who was VS AR deputy for that time and Head of Nakhchivan, to do something for that tragedy prevention”.
And the answer was: “Bloodshed would be a great use for us. We should not interfere the course of events.”
