A religious delegation, comprising Turkish and Georgian religious figures visited Azerbaijan’s city of Shusha on Saturday.

AZERTAC’s regional correspondent reports that during the visit, organized by the Azerbaijan’s State Committee on Work with Religious Institutions and the Foundation for the Propagation of Moral Values operating under the committee, the participants were briefed about the history of the Shusha city, as well as the ongoing restoration works here.
