Share Recently the ambassadors of 46 countries accredited in Azerbaijan visited Shusha as part of a trip organized on behalf of President Ilham Aliyev. It became known that the ambassadors of Russia, France and the United States – the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing countries – refused to travel to the city which has recently been declared the “cultural capital” of Azerbaijan. This fact caused serious discontent in Azerbaijani society. After the end of the second Karabakh war, visits of representatives of the diplomatic corps accredited in Baku to the regions that came under the control of Azerbaijan are arranged periodically. So far, such official visits have been made to Fizuli, Zangilan, Jabrail, Gubadli, Lachin and Aghdam districts.
