The Balligaya massacre is an act of terror in a series of bloody crimes, and genocides committed by the Armenian armed forces in Garadaghli village of Khojavand district, Khojaly town, Aghdaban village of Kalbajar district to exterminate the Azerbaijani population of Garabagh.

The bloody massacres of peaceful Azerbaijanis in Balligaya, Garadaghli, Khojaly, and Aghdaban clearly demonstrate that Armenians have been hatching hostile plans against our compatriots throughout history. These bloody acts will never be erased from the memory of Azerbaijanis.
