Armenian name
I would like to say that in the case of Shushi (the Armenian name), I am changing it from "Armenians have named it Shushi", to "the Armenian name for the town is Shushi", because unlike most of the other territories which were Azeri towns now in Armenian hands, this was a mixed town and the Armenians always had a different name for it. --RaffiKojian 03:29, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

(moved from article)
I moved the following from the article as it was an uncited POV description of the Armenian control and museums of Shusha:


 * Hard blow was stroke in our morality in result of occupation of Shusha. 8 museums, 31 libraries, 8 culture houses were destroyed and ruined only in Shusha.


 * About 5 thousand exhibits of the Shusha historical museum, about 1000 exhibits of the Shusha branch of the Azerbaijan Carpet and Popular Applied Art State museum, the State Karabakh Historical museum, more than 300 exhibits of the museum house of composer Uzeyir Hadjibayov, the founder of professional Azerbaijan music, more than 400 exhibits of the museum house of founder of vocal art Bulbul, more than 100 exhibits of the memorial museums of famous musician and artist Mir Movsum Navvab, more than 2 thousand exhibits of the Aghdam historical and study of local lore, more than 3 thousand exhibits of the Gubadli historical and study of local lore museum, about 6 thousand exhibits of the Zangilan historical and study of local lore museum were looted. The memorial museum of famous Azerbaijan musician Gurban Pirimov in the Agdam region, the historical and study of local lore museums of the Jabrayil, Fuzuli, Khodjali regions were destroyed as well.


 * Valuable exhibits, pictures and sculptures, world famed Azerbaijan carpets, memorial objects of well known Azerbaijan persons and other valuable exhibits were in the museums, looted by Armenian aggressors.


 * Funds of the Shusha, Lachin and Gubadli art galleries, consisted of works of famous Azerbaijan artists and sculptors, were also destroyed.


 * Armenian aggressors, demonstrating special barbarism, conveyed statues of great Azerbaijan music workers Uzeyir Hadjibayov and Bulbul, as well as poetess Khurshud Banu Natavan from Shusha to the territory of Armenia. These monuments were shot and damaged with heavy technique in contradictory to all moral norms. They were hardly brought to Baku and now demonstrated in the Fine Art Museum.
