It was stated in the event dedicated to the anniversary of the tragedy that one of the most terrible tragedies happened in Garadaghli village, which has been fighting against Armenian occupiers for four years. The Armenian bandits occupied the village on February 17, 1992, burnt it and carried out genocide against civilians. 91 residents of the village were cruelly slaughtered, 200 houses, 1 house of culture, a secondary school for 320 students, a hospital building of 25 beds and other facilities, historical, religious, cultural monuments and cemeteries belonging to Azerbaijanis were destroyed. About 800 residents of the village became internally displaced. Chairman of the State Committee Rovshan Rzayev underlined in his speech that the Armenian separatism in Nagorno-Karabakh, territorial claims of Armenia and its occupation policy were related with the incompetence and vacillation of the Azerbaijani authorities back then.

Only upon the return of the National Leader Heydar Aliyev to the political power, the decline of the independent statehood in Azerbaijan was prevented, unity of the people was ensured, and strong counteraction to separatist and occupying forces was organized. Chairman of the Committee stated that the state policy established by the Great Leader Heydar Aliyev for exposing the occupation policy of Armenia around the world, building and strengthening the defense system of our country, as well as addressing the problems of IDPs lost their homeland as a result of the occupation is being successfully continued by the President Ilham Aliyev today, and achieves very positive results. It was noted that in April of 2016 battles our heroic army showed its power to the occupiers, liberated some of our lands and last year, as a result of a successful military operation in Nakhchivan, it gained the control to some strategic heights. They also informed in detail about reforms carried out by the President Ilham Aliyev to improve the state policy pursued in the area of work with refugees and IDPs, as well as the large-scale measures on improving the housing and living conditions and financial wellbeing of the warworn people and ensuring their employment.
