A webinar titled “January 20 – the page of honor and heroism on the road to independence” was held under the joint organization of ANAS Lankaran Regional Scientific Center and “Genocide Memorial Complex”. The director of Lankaran RSC Mehman Aliyev, who gave an introductory speech, noted that the tragedy of January 20, which is a day of sadness and pride in our history, was an honorable day when the nation raised its voice for freedom and showed bravery for its independence. Then the director of the Genocide Memorial Complex, Dr. Rakhshanda Bayramova gave a speech on the topic “The great leader Heydar Aliyev’s political and legal assessment of the January 20 tragedy”. The historian noted that the national leader on January 21, 1990 spoke at a meeting held at the permanent representation of Azerbaijan in Moscow regarding the tragedy and sharply criticized the perpetrators of this massacre. Heydar Aliyev considered this event alien to law, democracy, humanism and contrary to the principles of legal state building announced in the country. It was noted that the January 20 events were given a political and legal assessment on March 29, 1994. In total, more than 20 different scientific workers participated in the webinar.
