Kamadladdin Gafarov: “The tragedy on January 20 was forever imprinted in our bloody memory”

“In the glorious history of the Azerbaijani people, who had been fighting for their freedom and independence for centuries, many pages of bloody tragedies. Azerbaijan, who was fighting for the restoration of his state independence at the end of the last century, survived such a tragedy on the night of January 19 to 20, 1990. Passes 33 years since the events that went down in the history of our country and the people as the tragedy of the bloody January. The events of January 20 were one of the manifestations of aggressive policy, which was long spent against our people in the twentieth century. The stages of this policy were also the Karabakh events initiated by the Armenian separatists at the patronage of the leadership of the USSR in the 1980s, mass killings and pogroms committed against the Azerbaijani people, the violent deportation of our compatriots from the native lands in Armenia created on the historical lands of Azerbaijan. “
