26 February 2012 [09:00] - TODAY.AZ
The truth which for many years was kept back, is getting disclosed and misinterpreted events are getting their real value.  Numerous acts of genocide against Azerbaijanis many years did not receive its deserved political and legal assessment. And the Khojaly genocide committed by Armenians is one of them. In February of 1992, Armenians accomplished unforeseen brutalities among the population of Khojali. The Khojali genocide saw thousands of Azeri people murdered and taken prisoners of war. The whole city was razed to the ground.

The film "When words freeze..." ("Sözün bitdiyi zaman"),produced by TREND News Agency as part of project of the State Support for Media Development Fund under the Azerbaijani President, talks about the genocide carried out against Azerbaijanis by Armenians.

The storyline is devoted to paintings of historical chronology of the genocide policy carried out by Armenians against Azerbaijanis, for many years. The film tells of the atrocities committed by Armenians during the occupation of Nagorno-Karabakh - the last stage of the Armenian vandalism. The people who witnessed the atrocities committed by Armenians spoke to the film.
The Armenian military forces committed genocide in Khojaly on Feb. 26, 1992. More than 600 people were killed, including 63 children, 106 women and 70 old men. A total of 1,000 civilians were disabled during the genocide. Eight families were annihilated, 130 children lost one parent, and 25 lost both. Additionally, 1,275 peaceful residents were taken hostage, while the fate of 150 remains unknown.
