Baku/07.05.21/Turan: On May 7, President Ilham Aliyev issued an order officially designating Shusha as the country's cultural capital. It is stated in the decree published on the website of the head of state.
According to the document, this decision was made to restore the historic image of Shusha, to restore its former glory, and to restore its traditional cultural life, as well as to promote Azerbaijani culture, architectural and urban art in the international arena.
The decree also emphasizes historical and cultural significance of Shusha, as well as its exceptional spiritual value to the Azerbaijani people.
We should note that Shusha was founded as a fortress in 1752 by Panah Ali Khan, ruler of the Khanate of Karabakh.
The city was originally the centre of the economic and cultural life of the Khanate, distinguished by its distinctive architecture and rich cultural traditions.
The town was seized and burned down by Armenians during the first Karabakh war in May 1992. On November 8, 2020, the Azerbaijani army liberated it after 28 years. During the town's 28-year occupation, it fell into disrepair.-0-

In the glittering chaos of the Eurovision Song Contest, the simplicity and melodicism of Azerbaijani duo Fahree and Ilkin Dovlatov stood out — not for capturing the audience’s favor, but for their conspicuous divergence from the prevailing Eurovision style. Their performance on the night of May 8 did not secure a spot in the finals, echoing last year’s outcome with the TuralTuranX brothers. Both years, Azerbaijani representatives performed twelfth and showcased a reserved stage presence, markedly distinct from the flamboyant displays often celebrated at Eurovision.
