    MARAGHA POGROMS VICTIMS WILL BE COMMEMORATED ON APRIL 9

    http://times.am/?l=en&p=6532

    On April 9 all Armenian Apostolic Churches will serve holy mass to
    commemorate memory of the death people. Victims of the Maragha pogroms
    will also be commemorated during the holy mass. Press service of Holy
    See Mother Etchmiadzin informs about this.

    Maragha is a village in Artsakh and Azerbaijani killed Armenians of
    the village on April 10, 1992.

    "Maragha. The name would hardly tell you anything although you ve had
    the chance of hearing the name "Nagorno Karabakh" recurrently since
    1988. Maragha was one of the largest villages of Nagorno Karabakh. It
    WAS because on April 10, 1992, the Azeri' "omon" forces invaded
    the village and set it ablaze, burning, & torturing it s peaceful
    population, some of whom were taken hostage never to be returned
    again! While those who survived left behind their belongings and
    spread throughout the world. Today, Maragha still remains under Azeri
    control. This Project, presented to you, is an attempt to show the real
    history of Maragha, hoping that with our unified struggle we would
    never let such tragedies take place ever again", Narine Aghabalyan,
    Minister of Culture of Artsakh wrote about the Maragha tragedy.
