March 31 – On the occasion of the Genocide Day of Azerbaijanis, students of Azerbaijan Technical University (AzTU) visited the Guba Genocide Memorial Complex.

During the visit, organized at the initiative of the Student Trade Union Committee, students were provided with detailed information about the genocide committed by Armenians against Azerbaijanis and the Genocide Memorial Complex established in Guba.

It was noted that on December 30, 2009, the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev signed a Decree on the establishment of the “Genocide Memorial Complex” in Guba city in order to convey to the world community the territorial claims and policy of aggression and bloody crimes of Armenian nationalists against Azerbaijan, to preserve the national memory of future generations and to perpetuate the memory of the victims of the genocide.

The Guba Genocide Memorial Complex was established with the support of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation. The complex contains images of various areas of Guba city at the beginning of the 20th century, photos of the construction work carried out there at that time, and the lifestyle of the population. A special section here contains the history of the establishment of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic and interesting photos related to it. On a special map on a touch-screen monitor installed in the complex, it is possible to obtain information in several languages ​​about the genocides committed by Armenians against our people in various regions of our republic in the past century. A corner has also been created here where the work done by national leader Heydar Aliyev to expose and inform the world community about the genocidal policy carried out against Azerbaijanis, as well as the orders he signed for this purpose, are demonstrated. There is also information about the Guba, Javad, Goychay, Shamakhi and Baku districts and detailed information about the atrocities committed by Armenians in these districts.

The Guba genocide cemetery was discovered on April 1, 2007, during earthworks in the area. As a result of the research, it was determined that the cemetery is related to the genocide committed by Armenians against the local civilian population in 1918.
