Abstract

The presented text was drawn up on the proud words of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev on the liberation of Shusha. President Ilham Aliyev addressed the people directly from the Alley of Martyrs on November 8, 2020 and announced the liberation of the ancient Azerbaijani city of Shusha. November 8 is declared Victory Day. Shusha is an invaluable center of Azerbaijani culture. In this regard, its release is important. That is why President Ilham Aliyev has officially declared Shusha the cultural capital of Azerbaijan. Today Shusha is being restored, revived and decorated. A new Victory road is being built in Shusha and preparations are underway for the resettlement of Shusha residents to the city in the near future. In order to increase the political significance of Shusha, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and President of the Republic of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan signed the well-known "Shusha Declaration" between the two countries.
