Цитаты

	Около 1000 Ходжалинцев из 10 000 населения были уничтожены во вторник армянской армией. Азербайджанское телевидение показало грузовики с трупами, вывезенные из Ходжалы.

Две группы — видимо, две семьи, лежали рядом, — руки женщин пытаются прикрыть детей. У некоторых из них, включая маленькую девочку, были чудовищные раны на голове: фактически осталось только лицо. Выжившие рассказали, что армяне расстреливали их в упор, уже лежащих на земле.

Накануне 11:00 ночи армянские боевики прошли через высокую траву с трёх сторон Ходжалу, вытеснив жителей через открытую сторону на восток. К утру 26 февраля беженцы добрались до восточной оконечности Нагорного Карабаха и начали спускаться вниз, к безопасности в азербайджанский городе Агдам, расположенном примерно в шести милях. Там, в холмах и в пределах видимости безопасности, солдаты Нагорного Карабаха преследовали их. „Они просто стреляли, стреляли и стреляли“ — подтвердила следователям из Human Rights Watch женщина-беженец Раиша Асланова. Бойцы „Арабо“ обнажили свои ножи, которые они так долго держали на своих боках и начали колоть и резать.

	До Ходжалов азербайджанцы считали, что мы шутим, они думали, что армяне не способны поднять руку на гражданское население. Мы смогли развеять этот [стереотип].

About 1,000 of Khojaly`s 10,000 people were massacred by the Armenian Army in Tuesdays attack. Azerbaijani television showed truckloads of corpses being evacuated from the Khocaly area.

Two groups, apparently families, had fallen together, the children cradled in the women’s arms. Several of them, including one small girl, had terrible head injuries: only her face was left. Survivors have told how they saw Armenians shooting them point blank as they lay on the ground.

At about 11:00 p.m. the night before, some 2,000 Armenian fighters had advanced through the high grass on three sides of Khojalu, forcing the residents out through the open side to the east. By the morning of February 26, the refugees had made it to the eastern cusp of Mountainous Karabagh and had begun working their way downhill, toward safety in the Azeri city of Agdam, about six miles away. There, in the hillocks and within sight of safety, Mountainous Karabagh soldiers had chased them down. "They just shot and shot and shot, " a refugee woman, Raisha Aslanova, testified to a Human Rights Watch investigator. The Arabo fighters had then unsheathed the knives they had carried on their hips for so long, and began stabbing.

"Before Khojali, the Azerbaijanis thought that they were joking with us, they thought that the Armenians were people who could not raise their hand against the civilian population. We were able to break that [stereotype]."
