On 26 February 1992, during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War, Armenian Armed Forces and 366th CIS regiment massacred as high as 613 ethnic Azerbaijani civilians in the town of Khojaly. This incident was known as the Khojaly massacre. Although the Azerbaijani sources occasionally refer to the massacre as a genocide () or a tragedy (), the Western governments and media uses "Khojaly massacre" to refer to the incident.
