"Shusha plays a serious role in the process of further development
of Nagorno Karabakh", said prime minister of self-declared "NKR"
Ara Arutyunyan in his interview to the public television of Nagorno
Karabakh.

He said "tourism is also our strategic sphere and Shusha is its
main center".

"We must primarily show this city to the tourists, visiting Nagorno
Karabakh, as Shusha is among our only historical cities, preserved
since ancient and having historical values, and we have already
started to execute ideas and programs there. Yet the development of
Shusha requires development of a deeper and more strategical concept",
noted Arutyunyan.

The Prime Minister of "NKR" announced that there is a plan to add
Shusha into the list of state establishments.

"Bako Saakyan has already decided to move the Supreme Court of
"NKR", Ministry of Culture and Youth issues, State Property
Cadastre Committee, Foreign Ministry, affiliate of the Armenian
agricultural university, office of Human Rights Activist to Shusha",
said Arutyunyan.

The Karabakh Premier announced that the state budget of "NKR" will
initiate the construction in several facilities in 2009 and these
establishments will gradually be moved to Shusha.

"Repair works have also be launched at multi-storied buildings,
as after moving these establishments there, we must ensure growth
in population.

For most workers it would be profitable to live in Shusha, and we
must put proposals that Shusha has normal reconstructed residential
properties, which can serve for the purpose", said "NKR" Premier.
