The evidence presented by a number of foreign journalists including Hugh Pope, Thomas Goltz, Tom DeWaal, as well as human rights organizations such as Human Rights Watch attest to the atrocities committed against civilians in Khojaly, the statement says.
USAN also says that parliaments and governors of twenty US states have adopted proclamations recognizing the Khojaly massacre. The Azerbaijani people will always remember the day of terror against Azerbaijani civilians in Khojaly, as the Americans remember the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the statement says.
The statement also hails US-Azerbaijani joint fight against terrorism, saying Azerbaijan`s contribution to peacekeeping missions in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kosovo is of pivotal importance to both countries.
