the village on April 10, 1992.
"Maragha. The name would hardly tell you anything although you ve had
the chance of hearing the name "Nagorno Karabakh" recurrently since
1988. Maragha was one of the largest villages of Nagorno Karabakh. It
WAS because on April 10, 1992, the Azeri' "omon" forces invaded
the village and set it ablaze, burning, & torturing it s peaceful
population, some of whom were taken hostage never to be returned
again! While those who survived left behind their belongings and
spread throughout the world. Today, Maragha still remains under Azeri
control. This Project, presented to you, is an attempt to show the real
history of Maragha, hoping that with our unified struggle we would
never let such tragedies take place ever again", Narine Aghabalyan,
Minister of Culture of Artsakh wrote about the Maragha tragedy.
