Garadaghli: 34 years have passed since the Armenian armed forces occupied the Garadaghli village in the Khojavand region of Azerbaijan, APA reports. The assault on the village began on February 15, 1992, when Armenia's armed units, supported by the 366th infantry regiment of Soviet troops stationed in Khankendi, launched an attack. After two days of intense fighting, the Armenian forces managed to break the siege and took control of the village by February 17. According to Azeri-Press News Agency, the occupation led to the complete destruction of Garadaghli. During this period, unarmed civilians, including women, children, and the elderly, faced brutal torture. Of the 117 villagers taken hostage, nearly 80 were killed without mercy, while 6 remain missing. Eyewitness accounts suggest that 9 individuals were taken hostage, with some witnesses reporting that 43 Azerbaijani hostages were shot and killed approximately 2 kilometers away from Khankendi, with several victims reportedly decapitated.
