"The liberation of Shusha, which is at the level of the cornerstone of Karabakh, on 8 November 2020 broke the resistance of the persecution and the terrorist state destroyed the crippled dreams of Armenia. Besides its strategic location, Shusha is such a place that it is the symbol of Turkish culture and history. The development of Shusha, which is one of the sources of Azerbaijani artistic and intellectual life, and the future of Turkish children living here are our moral responsibility. It is our duty to support the education life of this ancient Turkish city, which cannot be neglected", Bahcheli highlighted.

"If our President Recep Tayyip Erdogan gives permission, and if the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev finds it appropriate, our goal is to build a 9-class primary school in Shusha by the Idealist Hearths Education and Culture Foundation on my personal instructions. All the possibilities we have in this regard will be mobilized and the necessary will be done immediately", he added.
