Co-chairman of the US Azerbaijan congressional caucus Bill Schuster, Solomon Ortiz and its member Michal McMahon made a statement at the Congress Thursday, calling on to remember the massacre committed in the Azerbaijani town of Khojaly on the night between February 25 and 26, 1992.
The law-makers briefed their peers on the terrible details of that night, stressing Khojaly tragedy must be recognized by the international community as the outrage on humanity.
They noted the savageries committed by Armenian and Russian armed forces in Khojaly were widely covered by the world media including that in US.
The statement also says 20% of Azerbaijani lands are still under occupation notwithstanding UN`s and Council of Europe`s resolutions and decisions on unconditional withdrawal of Armenian Armed Forces from Azerbaijani territories and existence of about 1 million of refugees and displaced persons.
