US’ Texas.statenews.net website has published an article headlined “Lessons humanity learned from the Khojaly massacre” highlighting the 34th anniversary of the Khojaly genocide.

Authored by Samir Novruzov, head of the USA-Azerbaijan Integration Center (USACI), the article provides detailed information about the Khojaly genocide.

“One of the most painful lessons from Khojaly is how vulnerable civilians are during armed conflict. International humanitarian law, including the Geneva Conventions, is built upon the principle that civilians must be protected. Yet history repeatedly shows that when hatred intensifies and control weakens, civilians suffer the most.

Khojaly reminds the world that legal frameworks alone are not enough. Protection requires enforcement, accountability, and a strong international will to prevent atrocities before they occur,” the article said.

“If humanity truly learns from tragedies like Khojaly, then remembrance becomes more than mourning — it becomes a commitment to prevent such suffering from ever happening again,” the article concluded.
