A website has been launched to garner support for a rally to be held in Istanbul on 26 February, the 20th anniversary of the Khojaly massacre.
The website in Turkish, entitled Hepimiz Hocalili (We Are All from Khojaly), has information about the tragedy.
During the night of 25-26 February 1992, 613 Azerbaijani civilians were killed in an attack by Armenian forces, backed by an ex-Soviet regiment, on the town of Khojaly in Nagorno-Karabakh. Most of the victims perished as they fled the town.
The rally, which will begin at 14.00 local time (12.00 GMT) on 26 February in Istanbul's Taksim Square, will call on the international community and United Nations to assess the massacre as genocide and respond to Armenian tyranny,Gun.Az reported.
Twitter and Facebook pages have also been set up for the rally.
