The project is occasionally an excellent opportunity for our nation to shed light on the role of Shusha in the South Caucasus alongside Azerbaijan."; Inji Rustamova: "This journal will increase the awareness level among the international community living in Azerbaijan, considering the lack of English literature regarding Shusha and its cultural heritage. It will help the audience to clearly understand the realities of Karabakh, including its history and culture."; Ali Mammadov: "We all are inspired to see the cultural capital of our country in a much more prosperous way, especially as of 2022 because it is the declaration of the “Year of Shusha”. As the city of Shusha, the cradle of the culture of Azerbaijan, founded in 1752 by Karabakh ruler Panahali khan, this year marks the 270th anniversary of our glorious history."
