From an article in Wikipedia: “The Maraga massacre (Armenian: Մարաղայի կոտորած, romanized: Maraghayi kotorats) was the mass murder of Armenian civilians in the village of Maraga (Maragha) by Azerbaijani troops, which had captured the village on April 10, 1992, in the course of the Nagorno-Karabakh War. The villagers, including men, women, children and elderly, were killed indiscriminately and deliberately, their houses were pillaged and burnt; the village was destroyed. Although estimates of the actual number of people murdered ranges from 50 to 100, according to most sources more than 50 people were killed and a further 53 were taken hostage, 19 of whom were never returned.”
There are hundreds of testimonies, articles, videos about the Maraga massacre. Many of them state that it was another crime of genocide committed by Azerbaijan. At that time – not Soviet, independent Azerbaijan.
Among those who spoke many times about Maraga massacre is Baroness Caroline Cox.
Below is an interview with her in video in 2 parts made in April 1998. It is in English with a translation in Armenian and with titres in Russian.

Briefly:
“On April 10, 1992, forces from Azerbaijan attacked the Armenian village of Maraghar in northeastern Karabakh. The villagers awoke at 7 a.m. to the sound of heavy shelling; then tanks rolled in, followed by infantry, followed by civilians with pick-up trucks to take home the pickings of the looting they knew would follow the eviction of the villagers. Azeri soldiers sawed off the heads of 45 villagers, burnt others, took 100 women and children away as hostages, looted and set fire to all the homes, and left with all the pickings from the looting. I, along with my team from Christian Solidarity Worldwide, arrived within hours to find homes still smoldering, decapitated corpses, charred human remains, and survivors in shock. This was truly like a contemporary Golgotha many times over.”
