Construction to rebuild the city of Shusha is under way in the Nagorno-Karabakh region in Azerbaijan. 18 000 residents were forced to flee as a result of the war between Azerbaijan and Armenia. The SABC News team is in Azerbaijan as part of an international media visit to the country that has been involved in the war.
The city was established 270 years ago and was vandalized during the 30-year-long war. Shusha gave birth to many prominent people of culture.
“Rebuilding and reconstruction are well under way in the city of Shusha, like many parts of the conflict region in Azerbaijan. The plans for Shusha include a 450-block apartment building, schools, a hotel, and hospitals. The city is now a ghost town as residents fled during the war. City officials say the city will be developed in two years when residents are likely to return home.
