Vienna commemorates memory of 20 January victims

The Azerbaijan`s embassy in Austria organized an event to commemorate victims of 20 January tragedy in Al-Mehdi Mosque. Addressing the event, ambassador Galib Israfilov gave a detailed information about the tragedy. He said 20 January plays a “significant” role in the history of his people`s freedom and independence.

The diplomat condemned the bloody actions of the Soviet leadership against the innocent people. Israfilov said the then-leadership could not reach their aim by these violations, “on the contrary these steps stimulated the struggle of the people for freedom and sovereignty."
