"When the armed detachments of Armenian nationalists attacked the city of Khojaly with the support of heavy artilleries, personnel of the 366th motorized rifle regiment of the former USSR stationed in the city of Khankendi and mercenaries from different countries under the command of the Kremlin's top leaders, they first blockaded the surroundings. Armenian nationalists demonstrated a distinguishing brutality. Of the 613 people killed in Khojaly, 106 were women, 63 were children and 70 were elderly people. According to Lapaitis, the worst fate was for those who were captured by the Armenian nationalists. The captured Azerbaijanis went through a real hell of humiliation and torments. The Memorial Human Rights Center, which managed to visit the places of prisoners of war, testifies to this.The main culprits of this inhuman operation are Zarvigorov-Oganov-Shaposhnikov, who agreed in January 1992, the rest was only a matter of time.
