The Guba Genocide Memorial Complex
The Memorial Complex has been erected in memory of tens of thousands of Azerbaijanis perished as a result of massacres committed in 1918 by Bolshevik-Armenian armed groups.
On 2013, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and Mrs. Mehriban Aliyeva inaugurated the Guba Genocide Memorial Complex.
Memorial Complex, building with a view to delivering the facts about territorial claims and aggression policy of Armenian nationalists against Azerbaijan, preserving future generations’ national memory and eternalizing the genocide victims’ memory, consists of three sections: two structures resembling sharp-end knives, with entry and exit, and the main hall with a black stone in the centre. The sharp ends of the monument exposes the stabbing pain. The sharp ends emerging from under the ground show the impossibility if hiding the truth.
The genocide of the Muslim population in five districts of Baku province - Baku, Shamakhi, Guba, Javad and Goychay – have been reflected in the exposition of the monument-museum. Consisting of 19 sections, the museum’s exposition is presented in Azerbaijani, Russian and English languages.
