AzerTAC (24 September 2022)

As part of a visit to Azerbaijan, a delegation led by Turkish Minister of Health Fahrettin Koca has arrived in the crown jewel of Karabakh, the city of Shusha – a historical and cultural symbol of Azerbaijan.

Acquaintance with the cultural capital of Azerbaijan began from the central square of the city of Shusha, where bullet-pierced monuments to Azerbaijan’s famous personalities – Bulbul, Khurshidbanu Natavan and Uzeyir Hajibayli – have been erected. The President’s special representative in Shusha district, Aydin Karimov, informed the visiting delegation about the history of the city, its situation during the occupation and the ongoing creative work. He noted that during almost 30 years of occupation, the historical buildings, mosques and monuments of Shusha had been exposed to Armenian vandalism. After the liberation of Shusha from the occupation, large-scale restoration and construction work began in the city. In addition to infrastructure, the restoration of the historical appearance of the city, historical and cultural monuments of Shusha was launched.
