On the night of April 7-8, 1992, the village of Agdaban, consisting of 130 houses in the Kalbajar region, was completely burned and destroyed by Armenian militants. 779 civilians were tortured, 67 people were killed, 8 elderly people aged 90-100, 2 children and 7 women were burnt alive.

 

The manuscripts of poet Agdabanli Gurban and Dada Shamshir, one of the masters of classical ashug poetry, were destroyed as another manifestation of the policy of vandalism committed by Armenians against our cultural heritage.
 

Giving the first legal and political assessment to this tragedy, the great leader Heydar Aliyev called the events in Agdaba the greatest crime against humanity, describing it as a shame on behalf of all mankind.
