The Operation Ring: international response : vimarsana.com

On the night of April 29 to April 30, 1991, USSR and Azerbaijan launched a large-scale military operation named “Ring” against the peaceful Armenian population of a great number of Armenian villages in Shushi, Martakert, Hadrout regions of NKAO, as well as many villages in Shahumyan region, Getashen sub-district and Armenia’s Noyemberyan, Goris, Ijevan and Shamshadin regions. The first targets of the operation were the Armenian villages of Getashen (nowadays Chaykend) and Martunashen (nowadays Gharabulagh) that were part of Soviet Azerbaijan’s Khanlar district (in 1989 the district announced its decision to be unified with the Shahumyan region).
