The Baku-Shusha route is one of priority directions for development of
tourism, the statement was sounded by Faik Gurbanov, the head of the
Division on internal tourism development of the Azerbaijani Ministry
of Culture and Tourism, at a news conference held in Baku on 19 April
in connection with the opening of 5th jubilee international exhibition
‘Tourism and Traveling’.

The Ministry of Culture and Tourism has defined 6 directions for
development of tourism in Azerbaijan, including the Baku-Shusha
direction.

“Upon liberation of the lands from Armenian occupation this direction
will become a priority and there no doubt in this respect,” Gurbanov
underlined. A list of historic and culture monuments located in the
occupied territory of Azerbaijan has been compiled. However, possible
destruction of part of these monuments by Armenians excites deep alarm,
he warned.
