Politics:

Shushi has never belonged and will never do to Azerbaijan

Right after the liberation of Shushi the national-liberation war of the people of Karabakh became more motivation and in a year Mardakert and Martuni were liberated and the ancient Armenian Monastery of Gandzasar was saved.

May 8, 2008
16 years in a row on May 8-9 the Azeri press is filled with articles about "the occupied Shushi". Every year officials and "simple citizens" announce, that "the day when the occupied Azeri city will be regained back is not far." The strange thing is though nobody says how and who is going to "liberate" Shushi. Most probably it will be realized by the very Afghan mojakheds with their leader Shamil Basaev who disgracefully escaped the Armenian Army. As for "the native Azeri city", our neighbors should finally read the historical chronicles.
