“The central part of the modern Aghdam, which will consist of the former city of Aghdam and eight adjacent villages, will be established by 2026,” said Deputy Special Representative of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan in the liberated territories of the Karabakh Economic Region (except Shusha district) Bashir Hajiyev in an exclusive interview with AZERTAC's regional correspondent.

He noted that five residential quarters will be built in Aghdam, adding that a Victory Museum and an Open Air Museum of Occupation will be also created in the city.

The Open Air Museum of Occupation will be built in the destroyed area behind the mosque with the ruins in that area conserved and kept as they are. “The museum will help convey the history of Armenian vandalism and occupation, as well as the 30-year occupation of the city of Aghdam to future generations. Visitors and tourists will be able to see with their own eyes the history of occupation that they have read and heard about,” Hajiyev added.
