BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 19. Foreign
ambassadors accredited in Azerbaijan visited the Alley of Martyrs
in Baku, Trend
reports.
The diplomats laid flowers at the graves of Azerbaijan's heroic
sons and daughters and honored their memory.
On January 20, 1990, Soviet army combat units were deployed
against the broad masses of people who took to the streets and
squares of Baku to express their resolute protest against the
aggressive actions of Armenia, which had made territorial claims
against Azerbaijan, and the patronage of the USSR leadership, which
led to an unprecedented tragedy in Azerbaijan.
During those tragic days, the brave sons of the Fatherland, for
whom the freedom, honor, and dignity of their country and people
were above all else, gave their lives, reaching the pinnacle of
martyrdom.
