their criminal actions in the territories of Azerbaijan trying
to internationalize and legalize these actions. They declared

Shahbulag Palace in Agdam to attract foreign tourists and placed

Faig Ismayilov said Shahbulag fortress was built as an administrative
center of Karabakh khanate before Bayat fortress. The fortress was
built for defensive goals, but then was used as a summer residence of
Karabakh khans. The historic sources said "king of Karabakh Panahali
Khan put forward an initiative to build a palace near the mineral
spring Shahbulag in 10 km of Agdam town". Then Panahali Khan decided
to strengthen his defensive constructions and built Bayat and later
Shusha fortress, which became the center of Karabakh khanate.
Ismayilov said there is a number of important legal documents and
other legislative acts to protect Shahbulag Palace and other historic
monuments in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan.
