The story highlights that 36 years have passed since that fateful day.
"Today is a day of mourning for brotherly Azerbaijan. On January 20, 1990, the Azerbaijani people stood as human shields before Soviet tanks entering Baku, and 147 people became martyrs," the report notes.
The video also underscores how the resistance on January 20 played a crucial role in Azerbaijan's struggle for independence and contributed to the eventual collapse of the Soviet Union.
"The unarmed Azerbaijani people rose up against Soviet tanks in defense of their homeland. However, the Soviet tanks, manned by Armenian soldiers, showed no mercy, crushing everything in their path as they entered Baku, sowing death in the streets. But the people of Azerbaijan had no intention of submitting to tyranny. They resisted the Soviet tanks to the last drop of blood. Moscow, meanwhile, continued its bloodshed. That night, children and women were killed. Even doctors, arriving to assist the wounded, were fired upon," the material says.
The tragic events of January 20 remain a painful yet defining moment in Azerbaijan's history, symbolizing the country's unwavering spirit of resistance and determination.
