Visit to the House-Museum of Bulbul

On March 12, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev visited the House-Museum of Bulbul in Shusha.

Based on the instructions of National Leader Heydar Aliyev, the Executive Committee of the former Shusha City People’s Deputies Council decided on August 31, 1982 to turn the house where Bulbul was born and lived into a museum. The building was repaired in 1982–1983, a museum exhibition was set up, and an administrative building was constructed in front of it. The house-museum ceased operations during the First Karabakh War in 1992 due to Armenian vandalism. After Shusha was liberated, restoration work was carried out at the House-Museum of Bulbul, and it was reopened on August 29, 2021.
