Visit to the House-Museum of Bulbul in Shusha

On July 17, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and Chairman of the People’s Council of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow visited the house-museum of Bulbul in Shusha.

Member of the Milli Majlis Polad Bulbuloghlu informed the guest that Bulbul was born in this house and spent his childhood there. At the initiative of National Leader Heydar Aliyev, the house was turned into a museum in 1982, but its activity ceased in 1992 after suffering vandalism during the First Karabakh War. Following the liberation of Shusha, the museum was restored and reopened in August 2021. A new bust of Bulbul has been erected in the museum’s courtyard, while the bust damaged during the occupation has been preserved as evidence of Armenian vandalism.
