Prezident İlham Əliyev: 1918-ci ilin mart-iyul aylarında erməni quldur dəstələri Azərbaycanın, demək olar ki, bütün ərazilərində dinc əhaliyə qarşı soyqırımı törətmişlər: 31 mart soyqırımına dair həqiqətlər dünya ictimaiyyətinə uğurla çatdırılır

A 2018 article in Yeni Azərbaycan conveying President Ilham Aliyev's statements on the March–July 1918 events and the commemoration of 31 March.

This newspaper piece by N. Qələndərli relays President Ilham Aliyev's statements that massacres against civilians were committed across nearly all regions of Azerbaijan between March and July 1918, together with the official framing of the 31 March commemoration. The source describes these events, in its own terms, as "genocide" and discusses efforts to convey this account to international audiences. For the collection, its value lies in showing how the March 1918 events—the backdrop to the Caucasus Islamic Army's summer 1918 campaign—are treated in contemporary Azerbaijani official commemoration and memory politics.
