Member of US Congress Tim Ryan released statement on Khojaly Genocide

One of members of the US Congress, representing Ohio, Tim Ryan has released a statement on Khojaly Genocide, Azerbaijan's Embassy to US told ONA.

The statement reads:

"Madam Speaker, I rise today in remembrance of the Khojaly Massacre, and to honor the victims of this horrendous act. The appalling massacre perpetrated on the innocent people of Khojaly in February 1992 is no less shocking 28 years later.

One of the worst atrocities ever committed in the South Caucasus, justice has still not been delivered and 150 civilians are still missing.

As we demand respect for human rights and democratic accountability within the international community, it is important that we continue to remember what happened in Khojaly and bring those responsible to account."
