Thirteen years pass since occupation of historical Shusha city of
Azerbaijan by armed forces of Armenia As a result of invasion on May
8 in 1992, 125 people were slaughtered, 40 missed or taken prisoners
and 25 thousand Azerbaijanis forced to flee and became internally
displaced including elders, women and children. During occupation
Armenian armed forces destroyed 17 mosques and many other historical
monuments in Shusha city. Armenians living in Sisyan, Gafan and in
occupied Daqliq Qarabaq of Azerbaijan are celebrating the date as
anniversary of their victory. At present peaceful negotiations on
settlement of Daqliq Qarabaq conflict is ongoing between conflicting
sides mediated by OSCE Minsk group. However majority of Azerbaijani
nation hardly believe on release of Shusha by Armenian occupants
at their own will. Armenian occupants should be overthrown by using
force rather than by power of peaceful policy as they entered Shusha
by using force.
