We are on the painful anniversary of the brutal massacre that brotherly Azerbaijan lived 30 years ago. The bloody invasion methods of the Soviet Socialist Republics, which first took place in Hungary and then in Czechoslovakia, were tried in Baku this time in 1990, causing 137 Azerbaijani Turks martyrs and more than 600 veterans.

In the thirtieth year of the bloody January 20 incidents, President of Marmara Group Foundation Dr. Akkan Suver evaluated this night as the Black January crying of carnations. Dr. Akkan Suver's statement is exactly as follows; “-Baku faced inconceivable and inhumane behavior on January 20, 1990 and the Soviet Army committed a crime against humanity by killing 137 unarmed Azerbaijani sons. Today, these heroes, who lie in the Martyrs' Lane, laid the foundations of the independent and free Azerbaijan future. While I commemorate the martyrs on the 30th anniversary of Black January, I present our sincere patience to our Azerbaijani brothers. Tonight is the night when the carnation cries. I bow with respect in the spiritual tranquility of our martyrs.
