Karabakh", features the history of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,
including the Khojaly massacre.

The documentary was made at the initiative of Ukraine’s First National
TV channel and Azerbaijan’s state-owned AzTV.

Azerbaijan’s ambassador to Ukraine, Talat Aliyev, spoke at the
premiere about the Armenian occupation, terrorism and vandalism and
the Khojaly genocide.

MP Ganira Pashayeva said that the film conveyed the history of the
Karabakh conflict.

Ambassador Aliyev said that the premiere was part of a major campaign
launched last year in cooperation with the Justice for Khojaly
campaign to inform the Ukrainian community about the tragic events
in Azerbaijan’s history.

Recent campaign events were an evening to commemorate the 20 January
martyrs and the launch of the Ukrainian version of a book by the
head of the Presidential Administration, Ramiz Mehdiyev, "Realities
of Azerbaijani Genocide".

"In February we will hold a number of events to remember the victims
of the Khojaly genocide," Aliyev said.
