Çingiz Fuad oğlu Mustafayev ( Russian Чингиз Мустафаев / Tschingis Mustafajew ; born August 29, 1960 , † July 15, 1992 in Naxçıvanik , Ağdam Rajon ) was an Azerbaijani journalist who was posthumously named the “national hero” of Azerbaijan. With no journalistic training, he created a video documentation of the brutalities of the Nagorno-Karabakh War , in the course of which he was also killed.

Khojaly massacre

Çingiz Mustafayev was the man behind the camera who filmed the scenes of the Chodjali massacre in 1992 . Despite the fighting, he filmed the military confrontation. The film shows hundreds of dead people killed by the Armenian paramilitary forces with the support of the 366th Russian Motor Rifle Regiment.

The Committee for the Protection of Journalists (CPJ) reports that Mustafayev was mysteriously murdered while he was exposing information that the Armenian attack on civilians in Khodjali was due to a provocation of the Azerbaijani national front to force the resignation of the then Azerbaijani President Ayaz Mütəllibov .

The human rights organization Human Rights Watch and the Russian human rights center Memorial condemned the massacre. In the course of eight months, Çingiz made 18 documentaries about the Nagorno-Karabakh war and left an important historical archive.
