Азербайджан чтит память жертв трагедии 20 Января

Сегодня Азербайджан отмечает годовщину событий 20 января 1990 года, когда советские войска вошли в Баку и напали на безоружных граждан, протестующих против советской власти. Это дата отмечается как день национального траура. В результате столкновений погибли сотни людей, но точное число до сих пор неизвестно. Советская армия вошла в Баку после того, как было объявлено чрезвычайное положение в ответ на народные протесты, требующие независимости Азербайджана от СССР.

Президент Ильхам Алиев и первый вице-президент Мехрибан Алиева посетили Аллею мучеников и возложили венок к мемориалу Вечного огня.

В церемонии поминовения присутствовали государственные и правительственные чиновники, лидеры религиозных общин, послы зарубежных стран и представители международных организаций, действующих в Азербайджане.

According to AP, Putin addressed Xi as “dear friend” and said that Moscow’s ties with Beijing are “at an unprecedentedly high level.” Following their formal talks, they planned to have another meeting over tea with some of their top aides. The talks come the day after both attended a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in the nearby Chinese city of Tianjin, and the day before a grand Chinese military parade in Beijing to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
