“I am very happy to be here. It is a milestone to hold this prestigious event in Shusha, the cultural capital of Azerbaijan and the Turkic world," said Ahmet Yesiltepe, International Relations Coordinator at NTV, in his interview with journalists, APA reports.
"When I came to Shusha, I encountered two different scenes on the road. On one side there were the ruins, provocations committed by Armenians, and then there was the city of Shusha experiencing its renaissance, redeveloped by Azerbaijan. Yesterday, Presdient Ilham Aliyev gave a message about this to the world in a speech during his meeting with forum participants. He informed that these are Azerbaijani lands, that is why they are under control, rebuilt and a new culture developed here. I think that the real development will start from the city of Shusha," he said.
