Azerbaijan, Baku, April 13 / Trend M.Aliyev /
In connection with the 20th anniversary of Shusha's occupation by
Armenians, an action plan that will take place throughout Azerbaijan
is being prepared, head of the Shusha executive power and Azerbaijani
Community of Nagorno-Karabakh Bayram Safarov told reporters on
Friday.
He said this sad date will be also commemorated abroad.
On May 8, a visit to the Alley of Martyrs in Baku will be organized.
Expressing gratitude to President Ilham Aliyev for order signed by him
and associated with the 20th anniversary of Shusha's occupation,
Safarov said that this shows the attitude of head of state to Shusha
citizens.
Regarding the organization of the meeting of Azerbaijani and Armenian
communities of Nagorno-Karabakh, Safarov said that the Azerbaijani
community has always stood for such a dialogue.
"But the Armenians avoid these meetings. They have nothing to say to
us. All those who work for today's regime in Armenia, know that they
are criminals and soiled hands in the blood of innocent Azerbaijanis,"
said Safarov.
The Armenian troops carried out a military operation on May 8, 1992 to
occupy Shusha. The artillery shots at the city continued up to 6:00
pm. Over 1,000 Armenian soldiers assaulted against Shusha from three
sides. The assault was carried out with the support of 40 units of
armored vehicles of the 366th regiment, previously transferred to the
Armenians by Russia.
Founded in 1875 by Panah Khan Shusha for the first time in its history
has been captured on such a long period of time.
Some 248 historical facilities, eight museums, one photo gallery, one
museum, eight music schools, tens of cultural facilities lie under
Armenian occupation in Shusha.
Several hours before the assault to Shusha, through the Iranian
president's mediation the Presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia signed
an agreement in Tehran regarding peaceful settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
During Shusha's occupation, hundreds of peaceful people died, nearly
60 citizens, including women and children, were taken prisoners and
become missing people. Most of them have not been released yet. Nearly
22,000 people became internally displaced persons.
