MFA: Azerbaijan commemorates 34th anniversary of Aghdaban massacre

The Azerbaijani Ministry of Foreign Affairs commemorated the 34th anniversary of the Agdaban massacre, one of the many grave and inhumane war crimes committed by Armenia against Azerbaijanis.

Ermənistan tərəfindən azərbaycanlılara qarşı törədilmiş çoxsaylı ağır və amansız müharibə cinayətlərindən biri olan Ağdaban qətliamından 34 il ötür.

The ministry posted a statement on its official X account, noting:

“34 years have passed since the Aghdaban massacre—one of the numerous grave and brutal war crimes committed by Armenia against Azerbaijanis.

In 1992, the village of Aghdaban in Kalbajar, consisting of 130 houses, was completely destroyed by Armenian armed groups, leaving the settlement utterly devastated.

A total of 779 civilians were subjected to severe torture, and 67 people were brutally killed with exceptional cruelty.

This tragedy remains in history as one of the painful examples of the grave crimes committed against the Azerbaijani people.

We honor the memory of the victims of Aghdaban with deep sorrow and reverence.

May Allah rest all our martyrs in peace”
