Thirty-five years have passed since the tragic events of Bloody January. As is customary each year, the people of Azerbaijan pay profound respect to the martyrs of 20 January, expressing appreciation for their role in the country’s struggle for independence.
Large crowds have been heading towards the Alley of Martyrs since the early hours of 20 January, placing carnations at the graves of martyrs. 20 January is etched in the history of Azerbaijan not only as a tragedy but also as a page of heroism.
On January 20, the AZERTAC staff also visited the Alley of Martyrs to commemorate with deep respect Azerbaijani heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country’s independence and territorial integrity, placing flowers at their graves.
