Chingiz Mustafayev video footage of the Khojaly kill zone, 28 February and 2 March 1992
Chingiz Mustafayev (footage); various subsequent compilers, 1992
Notes
Two passes through the kill zone north of Khojaly by the Azerbaijani-Russian war journalist Chingiz Mustafayev. The footage globalised Khojaly. The discrepancies between his two films, particularly in the position and condition of bodies, became the evidentiary core of later Armenian-side denial of mutilations. Original master tapes held by the Mustafayev family; widely redistributed in Azerbaijani state and diasporic media. Mustafayev was killed in fighting in June 1992.
