BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 26. A wreath was
laid at the “Khojaly Genocide” monument in Tlaxcoaque-Khojaly
Square in Mexico City to mark the 34th anniversary of the tragedy,
and the victims were remembered with a minute of silence, Trend reports.

against Azerbaijan in 2011, passing resolutions that strongly
