I am from Khojaly [Net Image Documentary]

Khojaly Genocide - 26/02/1992.

Today is 26 February, 2022. 30 years have passed since one of the most darkest moments in the modern history of Azerbaijan.

This film is a declaration that every Azerbaijani feels a direct emotional link to Khojaly. If Shusha is a cultural center of Azerbaijan, then Khojaly is undoubtedly the Center of National Memory deeply rooted in every Azerbaijani.

Remembering the events of Khojaly is an important social glue that keeps the Azerbaijani society unified to avoid the repetition of such tragedies.

Now that the Second Karabakh war is over, the Azerbaijani people after 30 years of waiting can use their right to go back to Khojaly. The Azerbaijani people would rather leave this symbol of horror behind, but to have proper closure to this terrible story of pain and despair, there needs to be a return to Khojaly.

This film includes excerpts from the personal stories and experiences of Khojaly Genocide survivors and reflections from citizens residing in other parts of Azerbaijan.

It is dedicated to the memory of Khojaly Genocide victims, survivors, their families and the people of Khojaly.

We will not allow these events to be forgotten.
We will remember them.
And with determination we will go forward.

I very much liked the part "to forget means to kill them again"... We definetely cannot forget this tragedy, remind each other through such films, and let the World to know the truth. Not just for us only, but also for other to be aware of armenian vandalism and protect themselves. Thanks!

Ходжалинский геноцид 26.02.1992 года по своей жестокости и методам расправы остается одной из «черных страниц» в истории человечества. #WeAreAllFromKhojaly #JusticeforKhojaly #Khojaly30 #KhojalyGenocide #Genocide

Great job done! The world must finally accept the truth, a well and long known tragedy that is just ignored purposefully. Ignoring it means double and triple killing the killed, the massacred, those with destroyed families and homes, lost children and relatives. Justice for Khojaly
