Most people have never heard of the Khojaly Massacre. Khojaly is a town in Azerbaijan where the Armenian army engaged in ethnic cleansing over a two day period between February 25 & 26, 1992, ending the lives of 2000 people. What would it be like to wake up in your quiet Peninsula neighborhood and find your neighbors murdered and yourself and your family threatened? The "Memorial of the Khojaly Massacre" will give you a glimpse into the horrific incident. This program includes a short documentary about the massacre and two featured speakers: Dr. Hadi Sultan-Qurraie who discusses recent genocides and what can be done to stop future genocide and Dr. Zarifa Musayeva presents what Armenian authors are saying about Khojaly. This event was sponsored by the Azerbaijan Cultural Society of California, Northern Azerbaijan Cultural Society of America, the Peninsula Peace and Justice Center and the Consulate of the the Azerbaijan Republic in Los Angeles. This event was filmed at the Media Center in Palo Alto California on February 19th 2011.
