Maragha Commemoration Day on April 10
April 10 is the commemoration of the Maragha massacres of Armenians by the Azerbaijani in 1992. It is the next in turn display of the genocidal actions and ethnic cleansing consistently coordinated by Azerbaijan.
Maragha was one of the largest villages in the Nagorno-Karabakh. It was on April 10, 1992 when the Azerbaijani OMON troops (Otryad Militsii Osobogo Naznacheniya - Russian, Special Purpose Police Unit) broke in Maragha, set it on fire, massacred its inhabitants, and took some away with them as captives. Those who could narrowly escape found refuge in forests and spread all over the world.
Maragha is still under Azerbaijani control.
About 80-100 were assaulted, 40 wounded and 63 taken captive on this day in Maragha. Seven of the captives were repatriated later, 17 were exchanged, one captive was bought back and one succeeded breaking captivity and fleeing.
There has been news that 8 of the captives were killed, while the fate of rest 29 is still unknown. One of the captives was killed during the exchange, while another one was killed while fleeing.
Both Armenian and other sources inform that the Maragha massacres have not been duly covered and are still unknown for the public. Nor have these events received a proper recognition by the international community.

You have forgotten to mention: Azeri soldiers sawed off the heads of 45 villagers, burnt others, took 100 women and children away as hostages, looted and set fire to all the homes, and left with all the pickings from the looting.
