On February 26, the Azerbaijan University of Languages held an event "Retribution has come, Khojaly is free", dedicated to the anniversary of the Khojaly tragedy. The memory of the victims of the Khojaly tragedy was honored with a minute of silence. The National Anthem was played.

AUL Rector, Academician Kamal Abdulla, shared his views on the topic of the Khojaly genocide. It was noted that the Khojaly tragedy is a bloody memory of the Azerbaijani people. This crime,  committed by Armenian vandals, had left a disgraceful blemish on humanity. The Azerbaijani people will always keep the memory of the victims of the tragedy: "Khojaly is our ancient and eternal homeland. Today, as a victorious people, we are experiencing the triumph of returning to our native lands. For this we are in unpaid debt to our shehids, our veterans. We owe this to the wise policy, will and courage of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief. The Khojaly tragedy will remain in our memory forever. This genocide is a crime not only against Azerbaijanis, but also against all mankind. The Azerbaijani army achieved historic success, having won a glorious victory for 44 days and paying tribute to our shehids. "The souls of Khojaly's victims are happy, their blood did not remain on the ground." Today, the people of Azerbaijan return to their homeland, their ancestral land with confidence, hope and enthusiasm. Today Khojaly is recovering, life is returning to Khojaly. Today, the world increasingly believes in the truth, principles and position of Azerbaijan."

Next, a video about the Khojaly genocide was shown.

Sara Aleskerova, a teacher of AUL Department of Regional Studies, made a report on the topic "International reaction to the Khojaly tragedy". The position of the world community regarding the Khojaly genocide was commented on.

Reports were made by Ainur Mamedova, a doctoral student of AUL Department of International Relations, Ramin Guliyev, a senior lecturer at the Department of Caucasian Studies and History of Azerbaijan.

It was noted that some of the perpetrators of the Khojaly tragedy are serving their sentences today in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The event ended with an artistic program prepared by students entitled "Retribution has come, Khojaly is free".
