Today, a commemoration event for the martyrs of Karkijahan was held in Ganja, in the settlement where Khankendi residents temporarily settled.

According to the local bureau of APA, residents of Khankendi, families of martyrs, veterans, members of War Veterans Public Union, representatives of Khojaly district Executive Power and representatives of the public participated in the meeting organized by "Return to Karabagh" Public Union.

The souls of the martyrs who died in Karkijahan and for the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan were remembered with a minute's silence.

Dargah Hagverdiyev, executive representative of Kerkijahan, spoke about the atrocities committed by Armenians and the genocides against Azerbaijanis.

Executive representative noted that Karkijahan was one of the settlements that fought against the Armenian invaders until the last moment: "Armenians still called Karkijahan a bone stuck in their throat.

Among those gathered here are living witnesses of those days.

We remember with deep respect the souls of the martyrs of Karkijahan, martyrs who died for the sake of the whole Motherland.

Under the leadership of Commander-in-Chief Ilham Aliyev, we believe that in the near future the flag of Azerbaijan will fly in Khankendi, our ancestral home."

Then the speakers noted that 150 people, including 40 women, were martyred in the battles for Karkijahan.

After the event, donations were made to the souls of the martyrs.
