20th Anniversary of Maragha Massacre to be Commemorated Tomorrow

An event commemorating the 20th anniversary of the massacre of Armenians in the northern Artsakh village of Maragha by invading Azeribaijani soldiers will be held tomorrow at Yerevan’s Congress Hotel.

A documentary film as to what took place will be shown.

Estimates differ as to how many Armenians were killed, as well as how many people from the village were subsequently kidnapped, although most sources report that at least forty civilians were killed and a further fifty-three taken hostage and 19 people who were never returned

The Azerbaijani army captured Maragha on April 10, 1992, but it was retaken by the Armenians the following day. Upon re-entering the village, Armenian fighters reported that they came across the bodies of forty-three civilians, some of whom were missing eyes or decapitated, and heard reports that several others were taken hostage.
