    YEREVAN, APRIL 4, NOYAN TAPAN. On the initiative of the "Shoushi"
    charity fund, electronic referendum (www.shoushi.am) started on April
    4, on the issue of turning Shoushi into the all-Armenian cultural
    capital. As writer-publicist Bakur Karapetian, the founder of the

    worked out the program of re-birth of Shoushi as the all-Armenian
    educational-cultural and tourism center. Considering creation of
    some productions in Shoushi not purposeful, he expressed hope that
    the most correct thing is development of tourism there. B.Karapetian

    to Tbilisi with its meaning. It was also mentioned that 8000 people
    lived in Shushi at the beginning of the Artsakh movement, and about
    2500 people live there at present. With financing and assistance
    of the Catholic community of Beirut, the "Shoushi" fund organized
    archeological excavations in Shoushi plateau, as a result of what
    an old castle of the 12th century was found. The Beirut Catholic
    community gave 24 thousand dollars for first works in the direction
    of excavations, measurements, study of cultural heritage. The fund
    initiated gathering of the Artsakh struggle for existence: within
    the framework of the program, the fund records evidences of all
    participants of the struggle for existence to publish a many-volume
    collection of books in future. B.Karapetian mentioned that the fund
    has a goal to support cultural development and moral-spiritual ascent
    of Shoushi as well, to turn the fortress city having been a stage of
    wars constantly into a center of peace and culture.
