AAC Postage: Shusha, Azerbaijan by aacouncil
Shusha was established circa 1751 by Panah-Ali Khan Javanshir, the founder and the first ruler of an independent Turkic Khanate of Karabakh, as the capital. After the 1805 Kurekchay Treaty between the Russian Czar and the Khan of Karabakh and prior to the 1828 Turkmenchay Treaty between the Russian Empire and the Qajar dynasty of Iran, Shusha became an administrative capital of the Karabakh province (1822-1840), and later, of Shusha district of the Elisavetpol Governorate (1840-1923) of Russian Empire. Upon the establishment of independent Azerbaijan Democratic Republic (ADR) in May 1918, Shusha became the administrative center of the Karabakh governorate of ADR. Over nearly 250 years of its existence, Shusha grew with successive waves of migrants moving to the city, including the Armenians. By 20th century, the city became a cradle of Azerbaijani art and music, and a major trade and cultural center of South Caucasus. In 1870s, musical master Sadigjan developed the first Azerbaijani tar (lute) in Shusha. Richness of the musical performance tradition of the city greatly influenced the musical education of the famous Shushavian, Uzeyir Hajibeyov, the father of Azerbaijani classical music and opera, first of its kind in the Muslim and Turkic world. Many other prominent Azerbaijani and Turkic figures, including Bul-Bul (founder of Azerbaijani opera vocal); Jabbar Garyaghdy oglu (Azerbaijani Mugham Art virtuoso); singer Rashid Behbudov; composers Ashraf Abbasov, Suleyman Alasgarov, Fikret Amirov, Farhad Badalbeyli, Seyid and Khan Shushinski; writers Abdurrehim bey Hagverdiyev, Mirmohsum Navvab, Najaf bey Vezirov; poetess Khurshudbanu Natavan; and one of the founding ideologists of Turkism, Ahmet Agaoglu, originated from Shusha. When the Karabakh conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan sparked in 1988, Shusha became the center of tragic warfare. Since May 1992, it is under the control of Armenian forces, with city's majority-Azeri population forced out in its entirety. During the past 17 years, a number of Azerbaijani cultural, historical and religious landmarks of Shusha were destroyed. Nevertheless, Shusha remains at the core of Azerbaijani identity and the rich historical and cultural heritage of Azerbaijan.

Shusha / Azerbaijan
Shusha is a homeland to a great number of Azerbaijani poets, architects, musicians and other people of culture, as well as military leaders and generals. "The people of Azerbaijan have retained their ancient musical tradition. For example, the art of ashugs, who improvise songs to their own accompaniment on a stringed instrument called a kobuz, remains extremely popular. Mugams, vocal and instrumental compositions, are also widely known, the town of Shusha being particularly renowned for this art." (Source: "Azerbaijan: Cultural Life" Encyclopædia Britannica).

Shusha - City of Azerbaijan
Shusha has always been a part of Azerbaijan, but it was invaded by armenian vandals by the late 20th century. Sooner or later, Azerbaijan will take back its beautiful city, Shusha, from invaders.

Shusha is a historic Azerbaijani town that deserves special commemoration
The proper spelling of the town's name is Shusha, it was founded by an Azerbaijani Turkic ruler, and for most of time in history Azerbaijani Turks were the majority of the town's population (except from the end of 19th century till the first quarter of 20th century, when Azeris were ethnically cleansed from there). Shusha was the conservatory of the Caucasus region and has given Azerbaijan and the world HUNDREDS of prominent Azeri Turkic poets, musicians, historians, generals, scientists, politicians, and others.

armenian-occuppied shusha
i guess when armenians give up their unjustifiable invasion of the city, and stop identifying the happiness of armenians with the destruction of things azeri, the city of shusa will be "back" to its greatness.

Indeed, this citadel deserves a throughout coverage all around the world. Not sure about your knowledge of Shushi's history though...Base on facts, not blind allegations. Probably you checked it in the 12-volume history of Great Azerbaijan?.. I guess, this is a very-very detailed overview of the only Azeri republic from 1918 to 1920.. Masterpiece! Keep on undermining your credibility, you really help us...

Very meaningful stamp and historical information
I hope there is good record of historical monuments and features of this city somewhere that after the liberation of this city from the current military occupation, they can be re-built to their original state and glory. Thanks, Atila
