ARMENIANS SEEK TO TURN SHUSHA INTO THEIR ‘CULTURAL CENTER’

Assa-Irada, Azerbaijan
April 6 2006

Armenian separatists are trying to turn Azerbaijan’s ancient town
of Shusha into their own cultural center and plan to carry out this
outrageous plan by holding an electronic referendum.

“Every Armenian will be able to access a special website and voice
his opinion on the issue to facilitate the town’s turning into a
scientific, cultural and tourism center for not only Upper (Nagorno)
Garabagh and Armenia, but also all world Armenians,” the head of the
self-styled Shusha Foundation, Bakor Karapetian, maintained.

Armenian scholars trying to distort history have discovered items
dating back to the 12th century as well as the ancient Turkic period
during their archaeological excavations in the territory of Shusha.

The Armenian Catholic Church in Beirut, Lebanon had allocated $25,000
for the purpose.
