On the night of Feb. 25, 1992, Armenian separatists seized the Khojali settlement in Nagorno-Karabakh. Within hours, over 613 unarmed Azerbaijani citizens were killed. Among them were 106 women, 70 old people and 63 children. The massacre continued for days, while the Armenian separatists killed their hostages and cut the heads off of Azerbaijani military personnel. A total of 487 people were left disabled and 1,275 people were taken prisoner. The fate of 150 people remains unknown. The protest lasted three hours.
Law enforcement officials patrolled the scene of the demonstration, Abdullayev said.
The consul said the Armenians distributed false information about the Khojali events to local residents.
