Khojaly: The first reunion of graduates of the Khojaly City Secondary School No. 1 has taken place, marking a significant gathering for those who studied at the institution in the 1980s and 1990s.

According to Azeri-Press News Agency, the event was initiated by Khojaly resident Sariyya Muslumgizi, a former teacher at the school. The reunion brought together graduates and teachers from decades past to reconnect and reflect on their shared history.

Participants began the event with a visit to Khojaly Martyrs’ Alley, where they paid respects to the martyrs with a moment of silence. Discussions at the gathering included reflections on the Khojaly genocide, a tragic event carried out by Armenian armed groups in February 1992, which continues to impact the collective memory of those affected.

The gathering was described as a celebration of both memory and pride, reinforcing the significance of the community’s resilience and revival.

Concluding the event, attendees emphasized the value of regular reunions and expressed a commitment to the restoration and development of Khojaly, focusing on nurturing future generations on their ancestral lands.
