THE CAUSE OF THE STRESS IS TOO DEEP
The main reason for the tension between Azerbaijan and Armenia is Nagorno-Karabakh. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, Karabakh became a zone of tension between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The growing tension has been going on for more than 20 years, when the Karabakh Armenians demanded that Karabakh move from Soviet Azerbaijan to Soviet Armenia.
Despite the ceasefire between the parties, frequent clashes continue on the border between Azerbaijan and Armenia, which occupies the region. The tension in the region is closely followed by the international public due to the corridor of gas and oil pipelines in the region.
BLOOD FREEZING EVENT: HOCALI MASSACRE
The Khojaly Massacre is the case of the mass murder of Azerbaijani civilians by Armenian forces that took place in the city of Khojaly in the Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan on February 26, 1992 during the Karabakh War.
On the night that he joined the Armenian forces on February 25, 1992, with the support of the region’s 366th Regiment, a total of 613 inhabitants, including 83 children, 106 women, and more than 70 elderly people, were killed in the town of Khojaly, whose entrance and exit was closed first, according to official Azerbaijani sources. 487 people in total were seriously injured. 1,275 people were taken hostage and 150 disappeared. In examinations of the corpses, many of the corpses were found to be cremated, their eyes gouged out and their heads cut off. Pregnant women and children were also found to be exposed.
The city of Khojaly, which is one of the most important hills in the Nagorno-Karabakh region, was a major military target for the Armenian forces. The city was located on the road connecting Khankendi and Agdam and was the base for the only airport in the region. According to a Human Rights Watch report, Armenian forces were bombing the city of Khojaly because the Azerbaijani Armed Forces used it as a base and fired at Khankendi.
After the capture of the city of Kerkicahan, which settled around Khankendi and where Azerbaijanis lived, in December 1991, the city of Khojaly remained completely under the Armenian blockade. As of October 30, road transport was closed and the helicopter was left as the only means of transport. On November 20, 1991, after the Mi-8 helicopter was hit by Armenian forces in the skies of Hocavend and the death of 20 people, including several Azerbaijani state officials and Russian and Kazakh observers, air transport was also cut off. . Before the occupation, Khojaly was constantly bombarded during the winter months of 1991-1992. In some cases, the shelling was clearly aimed at civilian targets, refugees from Khojaly told Human Rights Watch. For several months before the attack, the city was without electricity and gas.
