One of the activists of the North Azerbaijan Cultural Society of America Zarifa Musayeva opened the program, spoke about the importance of Memorial Day for Khojaly genocide and said the memory of the innocent people killed in this tragedy would never be forgotten.
Following this, professor at Montana State University Thomas Goltz, who published articles in the U.S. mass media, as well as Washington Post newspaper when Khojaly genocide happened, delivered a speech. Goltz gave detailed information on Armenia’s aggression against Azerbaijan, illegal occupation of Azerbaijani lands, displacement of hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijanis from their native lands and said such injustice is completely inadmissible in the 21st century. Then he talked about Khojaly genocide, informed the audience how it happened, by whom it was committed. Goltz said he was in Karabakh when genocide was committed and would not forget the brutally murdered innocent people whom he saw with his own eyes. He said it is inadmissible that those who committed such a brutal crime are still free, even hold high positions in the government of Armenia.
Following this, parts of new documentary film on Khojaly genocide shot by Goltz, basing on the interviews of American and European journalists and experts, who made reports on the genocide for various international media outlets in February and March, 1992, were demonstrated. Following this, Goltz answered numerous questions of the audience.
