    MARAGHA - IT WAS TRULY LIKE A CONTEMPORARY GOLGOTHA MANY TIMES OVER

    ArmInfo. "Maragha - It was truly like a contemporary Golgotha
    many times over," said Baroness Caroline Cox whose words have been
    repeatedly cited during presentation of a website telling about this
    tragedy. The website unveiling that horrifying incidents in the village
    of Maragha on April 10 1992 was presented on September 9 in Yerevan.

    Samvel Martirosyan, the information security expert, says presentation
    of maragha.org is just beginning of the work. He says that much is
    still to be done to reveal all the black points of what happened in
    Maragha. For instance, the exact number of the killed Armenians is
    not known yet. S. Martirosyan says that the NKR Prosecutor's Office
    will provide 5 volumes of documents and materials on that vicious
    genocide of the Armenian population.

    "Genocide of Armenians in Maragha is a bright example of armenophoby
    because most of the killed were peaceful residents including children
    and old people. Today Azerbaijan keeps on implanting the image of
    enemy-Armenians and welcoming such crimes. For instance, mass media
    of that country has been praising and calling a hero the Azerbaijani
    soldier that viciously axed the head of the Armenian officer. This is
    abnormal, " the expert says. Other less known facts of bloodshed by
    Azerbaijanis with regard to the Armenian population, specifically, the
    tragic incidents in Kirovabad, will be disseminated worldwide, he says.

    Maragha was one of the largest villages of Nagorno Karabakh. It WAS
    because on April 10, 1992, the Azeri' "omon" forces broke into the
    peaceful village Maraga, neighboring the Azeri town of Mirbashir.

    Barbaric massacre was inflicted. 45 people were tortured to death. 49
    people were taken hostage, of them 9 children, 18 women, 3 elderly
    (one of the elderly people was visually impaired). 19 of them are
    still missing. The massacre continued from April 22 through April
    23 when the survived residents of Maraga returned to the village to
    bury the dead. Marahga tragedy was a link in the chain of genocides
    committed by Azerbaijanis against Armenian population. Maragha tragedy
    differs from others with the fact that the village was aside the
    military actions and the small group of self-defense in the village
    was armed with hunters' guns and constituted no threat to the army
    of Azerbaijan. Baroness Caroline Cox, who had visited the place of
    the tragedy, was shocked to the innermost of her heart by what she
    had seen. 'They are not of human race' - the Baroness said.
