Bakhtiyar Salmanov: "This journal is primarily intended to support the preservation of Shusha's cultural and
historical heritage as the cradle of Azerbaijan's music, poetry, and culture. 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."
