BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 8. The New Shusha Mosque is on the rise, poised to become a shining beacon of the city with its jaw-dropping architecture, TurkicWorld reports.
The mosque’s foundation was laid in 2021 by President Ilham Aliyev. Its design integrates emblematic components: the primary edifice embodies the numeral eight, honoring Shusha’s emancipation on Victory Day, whereas its dual minarets signify the 11th month, representing the duration of the city’s occupation. The vertical extensions of the minarets are projected to attain an elevation of 72 meters.
Shusha is celebrated for its rich tapestry of historic mosques and architectural heritage, with the New Shusha Mosque set to integrate into this esteemed lineage. The initiative is underpinned by the strategic backing of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation and Pasha Holding.
