Maraga massacre
The Maraga massacre ((アルメニア語:Մարաղայի կոտորած, ''Maraghayi kotorats'')) was the mass murder of Armenian civilians in the village Maraga (Maragha) by Azerbaijani troops, which had captured the village on April 10, 1992, in the course of the Nagorno-Karabakh War.〔De Waal, Thomas. ''Black Garden: Armenia and Azerbaijan Through War and Peace''. New York: New York University Press, 2003, pp. 175-176.〕〔 "(Хронология Карабахского конфликта, 1992 год ) ("The Chronology of the Karabakh Conflict, 1992")." ''BBC Russian''. Last updated August 29, 2005. Retrieved December 20, 2010.〕 The villagers, including women, children and elderly, were killed indiscriminately, their houses were pillaged and burnt; the village was destroyed and was subsequently occupied by the Azerbaijani forces.〔〔 Although the estimates of the actual number of murdered ranges from 50 to 100, according to most of the sources more than 50 people were killed and a further fifty-three were taken hostage, 19 of whom were never returned.〔De Waal.

==Background==
The village of Maraga (Leninavan) was located in the Martakert region of Nagorno Karabakh, just across the border from the Azerbaijani town of Terter〔 (oil-rich Mir-Bashir region) and was one of the region's largest villages.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=MARAGHA )〕 According to the census of 1989 the village had a population of 4660, predominantly ethnic Armenians.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Левон Мелик-Шахназарян - Военные преступления Азербайджана против мирного населения НКР )〕
By spring 1992 the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh escalated. The village of Maraga, prior to the invastion by ground forces, had been under artillery fire as a result of which resulted in considerable damage in the village. Residents of the village tried to shield themselves from shrapnel by digging underground shelters. Some of the residents of the village had to leave their houses and temporarily settle in other regions of NKR.〔
