International recognition of the Khojaly massacre

[2][3] Azerbaijan considers international recognition of the massacre as an important part of its foreign policy.

The government of Azerbaijan refers to the event as a genocide, and aims to raising international awareness of the massacre, and its root causes within the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

In 2007, Heydar Aliyev Foundation organised an exhibition of photographs and children's paintings titled "Victims of aggression" in Brussels on 26 February,[4] and held commemorative ceremonies in Istanbul and 25 provinces of Turkey as a part of "Khojaly Week" in 19–26 February.

On 14 February 2008, the same foundation organised a conference titled "Khojaly massacre and realities of 1915 events" in Berlin.

The Hungarian party Jobbik stated, that they express solidarity with Azerbaijani people and issued statements during massacre's anniversary.
