The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan has shared a post regarding the commemoration of the Bashlibel tragedy, APA reports.
The post reads:
"32 years ago, on 18 April 1993, during the occupation of Kalbajar by Armenian armed forces, 18 Azerbaijani civilians from Bashlibel village were brutally killed after being discovered in mountain caves where they had sought refuge for 18 days after the sacking of their village. 14 people were taken hostage.
This massacre was part of Armenia’s long-standing policy of ethnic cleansing, terror, and aggression aimed at expelling Azerbaijanis from their ancestral lands and advancing territorial claims.
We honor the memory of the victims of the Bashlibel Massacre and reaffirm that such crimes against humanity must never be forgotten or go unaccounted for."
