Unknown people broke the plaque in the Park of Shekhids in the Turkish
district Turgutlu which was set to memorize the victims of Aghdam
events in 1992, Azerbaijani site Report.az writes.
According to the article, Turgay Sirin, the head of Turgutlu district
municipality, said that some parts of the plaque were broken, and
the Turkish flag was taken off and thrown to the ground.
The agency notes that the park was opened in the street Ozgun,
block Turgutlar on February 27, 2015 upon the decision of the local
municipality board.
On February 26, 1992, during the war in Karabakh, around 200 to 300
people (according to Human Rights Watch, and more than 600 according
to the version propagated by Azerbaijan) were killed in unknown
circumstances near the city of Aghdam. They have been deliberately
withheld by the Azerbaijani authorities in the midst of the military
actions. Population of the village of Khojalu, which was one of the
firing points shooting at the blockaded Stepanakert (among five others)
was kept in the village for months by force and was not evacuated by
the authorities of Azerbaijan deliberately, in order to use them as
human shields later.
Residents of Khojalu coming out through the humanitarian corridor,
that the self-defense forces of NKR had left open, freely passed more
than 10 km and reached the Aghdam city controlled by the Azerbaijani
troops. Later, not far from the positions of Azerbaijani troops dead
bodies of the villagers were found. The exact death toll remains
unknown as the official Baku publishes data contradicting each other.
Parliamentary Commission investigating the tragic death of the
civilians at Aghdam city was dissolved by the order of Heydar Aliyev,
the investigative materials are kept secret.
