either peacefully or by force, chairman of the public association
'Azerbaijani community of Nagorno-Karabakh', head of Shusha regional
executive power Bayram Safarov told Trend today.

people wait for the order of the Supreme Commander. At present,
Azerbaijan has an army, modern weapons. Its men are able to liberate
the Azerbaijani occupied territories."
He stressed that an action plan has been prepared in connection with
the 20th anniversary of Shusha having been occupied by Armenia.
"The events and activities will be organised throughout our country
to commemorate the memory of those Shusha people who were killed," he
said. "We will visit the Alley of Honour on May 8. Other activities
will be held. Thus, a lesson devoted to Shusha will be held in
all educational institutions of the country on May 4. Appeals to
international organisations are also being prepared."

to occupy Shusha. Artillery shots were fired over the city which
continued up to 6 pm. Over 1000 Armenian soldiers attacked Shusha
from three sides.

eight music schools and tens of cultural facilities lie under Armenian
occupation in Shusha.
