Embassy of the Republic of Azerbaijan in the People`s Republic of China

The situation was very tense. After ravaging the villages Gushchular and Malibayli, Armenians gathered all their forces in Khojaly direction. All the electric wires were cut. There wasn't electricity, bread, and food. The last helicopter flew away on January 29. On February 18, a military helicopter from Ganja landed in Khojaly airport. But these "comings" couldn't save the habitants from dangerThey were feeling great dangers. But they were helpless. The enemy had several tanks and armored carriers.

They were feeling... There was a trouble ahead!!! February 25!... Khojalians didn't have any connection with neighboring regions, and in whole, with Azerbaijan. Having been forgotten by 'everyone, they were living the last hours there.

The circle of blockade was narrowing. Khojalians sent SOS!!! to everywhere for help. Now Khojaly was quite helpless. Armenians were sure that in such a severe frost death rolls would be more than expected. It happened as they planned.

About 10-11 o'clock in the evening began an awful attack: with the help of Russian militaries rabid Armenians attacked from 6 sides. Armenians wanted to deal cruelly with Turks. The night from 25th - to 26th February 1992 ended in tragedy for Khojalians.

At midnight people under the bullet rain ran into the forests and mountains barefooted. The land called Motherland was in the hands of the enemy. Poor Khojalians didn't know that the tragedy was ahead. Running away wasn't a tragedy. In reality it was happiness that they could run away and save their lives. Khojalians left their full of houses, all their wealth. They couldn't even put on their warm dresses. Someone's money, wealth, someone's old and ill parents stayed in burnt houses. In this stampede someone lost their children and couldn't run...
