A big day as AZ regains full control of #Aghdam region. The largest town (1989 pop. 27,000) that AZ lost in the first #Karabakh war, Aghdam was captured intact by Armenians in 1993, then everything was stripped, sold off. Only the mosque remained. I'll never forget this view.

The old Aghdam, famous for musicians, gangsters + cheap red wine will not return. Rebuilding a new one will be a big endeavour. Returnees will feel anger at seeing these ruins--one element of the new trauma and hostility Azerbaijanis and Armenians are facing in 2020.

Impeccable timing for posting this. Impeccable.

Looking at this photo, I can't even imagine how long it takes to raise this city.But I am very happy for the refugees. A close friend always painfully remembered how beautiful this city was.

New chapter in the life of the city. Historically, it’s been a business hub for Karabakh. Hopefully, when communications reopen, both communities can interact and do business.

Aghdam was not captured intact. Some googling on your part (outside of Azeri propaganda-machine) would have easily refuted this erroneous claim.
