OIC General Secretariat commemorates Khojaly massacre

On the occasion of the 34th anniversary of the genocide in the town of Khojaly of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the Secretary-General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Hissein Brahim Taha, has paid tribute to all those who lost their lives in the 1992 atrocities, according to the OIC.
