20 yanvar, 1990-2022.
32-ci il dönümü.
Unutmadıq!
.
January 20, 1990-2022.
32nd anniversary.
We haven't forgotten!

On 20 January 1990 at 00:20, about 20,000 contingent of the Soviet forces intruded into Baku. Protesting against such infringement of the country’s Constitution, hundreds of civilians joined a meeting, with the result that 147 civilians were killed and 700 more were wounded in Baku and nearby regions. Among those killed were women, children and the elderly, medical employees and policemen. A total of 841 civilians were arrested in Baku and other cities and regions of the republic, 112 of whom were sent to prisons in different cities of the USSR.

The January tragedy also demonstrated the firmness of the Azerbaijani peoples will, and determination. Unmoved by the Soviet armys cruelty and the consequent imposition of a curfew in Baku, the people of Azerbaijan staged a massive rally in the citys “Azadlig” square on January 22 to pay tribute to the martyrs of January 20. The burial ceremony at the Alley of Martyrs was attended by nearly two million people.

This epochal event was the deciding factor in forming Azerbaijani national identity and marked a turning point in restoring national independence. It was the January tragedy that turned a national liberation movement into a political reality and gave strong impetus to the Azerbaijani people
s struggle for independence.

The people of Azerbaijan continue to hold the memories of the martyrs dear to their hearts. On January 20 of each year, thousands of people visit the Alley of Martyrs to pay their tributes by laying flowers, say prayers for the victims and express their condemnation of the perpetrators of the tragedy.
Each year at midday on January 20, a nationwide moment of silence is observed to commemorate January 20 martyrs. Ships, cars, and trains sound sirens throughout the country, commemorative events are held in all cities and towns, and the national flag is lowered on all buildings.
