Armenian forces captured Khojaly on the night of February 25-26, killing 613 people, mostly women, children and elderly.More than a thousand residents were taken hostage.The massacre, documented by Human Rights Watch, Memorial and other foreign rights groups, is seen as the single deadliest massacre committed during the war on Nagorno-Karabakh.Armenians captured nearly 20 percent of Azerbaijan’s internationally-recognized territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent districts during the war, killing 20,000 people and driving out a million.

Major hostilities ended with a ceasefire in 1994 but the sides have yet to sign a peace agreement.
