Erdoğan: We will be proud to see Shusha as cultural capital of Turkic world

Report informs, that, according to him, Shusha, as an art academy, was a place where art was at the highest level:

"Shusha retained the status of the center of literature. This city is the home of the great composer Uzeyir Hajibeyli, Bulbul, Natavan, and other poets. Today Shusha is recovering. The declaration of Shusha as the capital of culture is a clear message to the world in this sense.

"Next year, we will be proud to see Shusha become the cultural capital of the Turkic world. Of course, not only Shusha and Karabakh, but all parts of the Turkic world have brought up great personalities."
