Full inventory of the international recognition of the Khojaly Massacre as of June 4, 2013.

GENOCIDE

The atrocities in Khojaly are recognized as "genocide" by the parliaments of Mexico (resolution adopted on December 8, 2011, by the Foreign Relations committee of the Chamber of Deputies), Pakistan (decision made unanimously on February 1, 2012, by the members of the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate upon submission of the proposal by Senator Haji Ghulam Ali), Colombia (resolution adopted unanimously in April, 2012, by 102 members of the Senate), Jordan (on 28 May, 2013, the Senate of Jordan adopted a document that said: "The Senate also supports the decisions of the member states of the Islamic Cooperation Organization recognizing Khojaly tragedy as a genocide and a crime against humanity and calling to take due steps to get this massacre recognized"), Peru (resolution on June 10, 2013), Panama (resolution 4, adopted on August 7, 2013), Honduras (resolution 333-2013 of February 13, 2014), Sudan (adopted on September 1, 2014).

According to the national laws of these states, it is sufficient to adopt documents on such issues in the committees. Bringing the resolutions, approved in the committees, to the full parliament's voting is not required, since it is not a law or constitutional amendment, but rather a non-binding resolution. Adoption of such resolutions in the committees is sufficient to consider them the official position of the parliament, and thus, the country.

There were reports about the recognition of the Khojaly Genocide by the parliaments of Peru and Panama, but no document could be obtained from the embassy of Azerbaijan in Mexico.

Furthermore, the atrocities in Khojaly are recognized as a "genocidal act" by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation at the 12th session of the Islamic Summit Conference - the highest body of the OIC - held in Cairo on February 2-7, 2013. All the leaders of the OIC member-states voted to recognize it as genocide.

The mayor of the Israeli town of Tirat Carmel, Mr. Aryeh Tal, made the statement calling the Khojaly massacre a "genocide".

In 2011 and 2013, Hungary's Jobbik party recognized the atrocities in Khojlay as "genocide".

In February, 2013, Latvia's biggest "Harmony Center" parliamentary party made a statement calling this crime a "genocide":

"Мы решительно осуждаем этот страшный геноцид против азербайджанского народа и считаем, что такие преступления против человечности не могут оставаться безнаказанными. Никакой власти не дано права на совершение геноцида против другого народа. Мы выражаем истинное и глубокое сострадание азербайджанскому народу в связи с Ходжалинской трагедией".

Armenien, das selbst über einen an seinem Volk begangenen Völkermord klage, müsste Verständnis für das Anliegen des aserbaidschanischen Volkes haben". (English translation: "The massacre of the civilian population of the town of Khojaly committed by the Armenian forces on 25 February 1992, as a result of which more than 600 people fell victim, must be recognized as a fact. Armenia that herself claims about a genocide to have been committed against her people should understand the concerns of the Azerbaijani people.")
