UN Resident Coordinator in Azerbaijan, Vladanka Andreyeva,
visited the Alley of Martyrs to honor the 35th anniversary of the
January 20 tragedy, Azernews reports.
She shared her tribute on her official "X" account.
"Today marks the 35th anniversary of the tragic events in Baku
on January 20, 1990. We stand with the people and government of
Azerbaijan to commemorate those who lost their lives in the
struggle for independence," the post read.
It should be noted that January 20, 1990, marks a pivotal moment
in Azerbaijan's struggle for freedom and territorial integrity. On
that day, Soviet combat units were deployed against peaceful
protesters in Baku, who were outraged by Armenia's territorial
claims against Azerbaijan and the Soviet Union's support for
them.
