As a result of invasion on May 8 in 1992, 125 people were slaughtered, 40 missed or taken prisoners and 25 thousand Azerbaijanis forced to flee and became internally displaced including elders, women and children. During occupation Armenian armed forces destroyed 17 mosques and many other historical monuments in Shusha city.

Armenians living in Sisyan, Gafan and in occupied Nagorno Karabakh are celebrating the date as anniversary of their victory. At present peaceful negotiations on settlement of Daqliq Qarabaq conflict is ongoing between conflicting sides mediated by OSCE Minsk group. However majority of Azerbaijani nation hardly believe on release of Shusha by Armenian occupants at their own will.

Armenian occupants should be overthrown by using force rather than by power of peaceful policy as they entered Shusha by using force. Prominent people as Khurshudbanu Natavan, composer Uzeyir Hacibayov, musician Rashid Behbudov were born in Shusha, ANS reports.
