An event dedicated to March 31 - Day of Genocide of Azerbaijanis was held at Baku Eurasian University.

In addition to the administration of the university, faculty and students, Irada Muradova, the deputy head of the Narimanov district executive power, Najaf Novruzov, the head of the district youth and sports department, and the representative of the Narimanov district organization of the New Azerbaijan Party also participated in the event.

The event began with a minute's silence in memory of the victims of the genocide and the singing of the National Anthem. Later, a photo exhibition depicting the events of the March 31 genocide was shown.

Professor Gulzar Ibrahimova, vice-rector for scientific affairs of the university, who opened the event, said that the genocide of the 20th century was the massacre of the century by the Armenian Dashnaks against our people on March 31, 1918. 

According to official sources, as a result of this genocide, about 12 thousand Azerbaijanis were mercilessly killed and tens of thousands of people went missing.

Speaking later, Irada Muradova, deputy head of the Executive Power of Narimanov region, spoke about the concealment of the true essence of these truths during the Soviet era. She said that only during the period of independence, National Leader Heydar Aliyev declared March 31 as "Azerbaijani Genocide Day" and after taking relevant orders and measures, the genocide was given a legal and political assessment.
