Danish traveler: It would be interesting to return to Karabakh after 5-10 years 

It would be very interesting for those who visit Karabakh these days to return to the liberated lands of Azerbaijan after 5-10 years, Magnus Sejersen Nielsen, a member of the international group of travelers, who is on a visit to Karabakh and East Zangazur, told Report's correspondent.

"These places are lifeless now. There are very few places settled by people, but a lot of construction work is being carried out, and houses, airports, and roads are being built. It would be interesting to see how these places will change in the future," Nielsen said.

According to the traveler, he read news and articles about Karabakh in Denmark, and now he had the opportunity to visit the other side of history and see Karabakh from a different angle: "This is an opportunity to learn and see what is actually happening in these places, in these areas. Now we know both sides of history."

Commenting on his visit to the Azikh cave, Nielsen said that it was difficult to climb the stairs to the cave, but what he saw was worth it.

The tourist noted that they were in Baku for several days before arriving in Karabakh: "It's a beautiful and clean city, I really liked Baku."

The travelers will visit the liberated Azerbaijani territories on February 4–6 along the route Fuzuli-Khojavand-Shusha-Kalbajar-Lachin-Zangilan-Jabrayil-Agdam. This trip once again demonstrates a significant increase in the interest of international travelers in construction and restoration work in the liberated territories of the country, completely destroyed during the almost 30 years of occupation.

They will also be briefed on the progress of demining work. Over the past two years, representatives of the main international travel clubs - Etic, MTP, TCC, NomadMania, and the Turkish Travel Club have visited Karabakh and East Zangazur. Such visits were implemented once in 2021 and four times last year. The current trip is the sixth in a row. The group includes travelers interested in military history, including authors of famous travel books.

Such visits are aimed at promoting such an extreme type of tourism as Dark Tourism. International travelers visit the liberated territories that Armenia has plundered for almost 30 years and places where heavy fighting took place in 2020. They have the opportunity to get acquainted with the realities on the ground, including the work on construction and rehabilitation, with the work on the creation of the Zangazur Corridor.
