An event commemorating the 20th anniversary of the massacre of
Armenians in the northern Artsakh village of Maragha by invading
Azeribaijani soldiers will be held tomorrow at Yerevan's Congress
Hotel.
A documentary film as to what took place will be shown.
Estimates differ as to how many Armenians were killed, as well as how
many people from the village were subsequently kidnapped, although
most sources report that at least forty civilians were killed and a
further fifty-three taken hostage and 19 people who were never returned
The Azerbaijani army captured Maragha on April 10, 1992, but it
was retaken by the Armenians the following day. Upon re-entering the
village, Armenian fighters reported that they came across the bodies of
forty-three civilians, some of whom were missing eyes or decapitated,
and heard reports that several others were taken hostage.
