    Armenians establish "Tigranakert" museum in Shahbulag Palace of
    occupied Aghdam region of Azerbaijan.

    Armenians have searched for traces of mythic Tigranakert city spoiling
    10 hectares of territories under the pretext of archeological
    excavations around the historic monument of Shahbulag Palace, the
    summer residence of Karabakh kings in Agdam region of Azerbaijan
    since 2005, chairman of the Public Union for Protection of Historic
    and Cultural Monuments in the Occupied Territories of Azerbaijan Faig
    Ismayilov said.

    He said they involved experts from UK, the US and France in
    their criminal actions in the territories of Azerbaijan trying
    to internationalize and legalize these actions. They declared
    establishment of historic museum "Tigranakert" in the territory of
    Shahbulag Palace in Agdam to attract foreign tourists and placed
    information about the opening of the museum on Internet.

    Armenians destroyed more than 15 famous burial mounts belonged to
    Khojaly Civilization during the excavations in Agdam and took the
    material evidences away to Armenia.

    A large criminal group is working now in the Shahbulag Palace and
    around it. The excavation work is funded by a rehabilitation center
    of Armenia's "Erkir" Public Union.

    Faig Ismayilov said Shahbulag fortress was built as an administrative
    center of Karabakh khanate before Bayat fortress. The fortress was
    built for defensive goals, but then was used as a summer residence of
    Karabakh khans. The historic sources said "king of Karabakh Panahali
    Khan put forward an initiative to build a palace near the mineral
    spring Shahbulag in 10 km of Agdam town". Then Panahali Khan decided
    to strengthen his defensive constructions and built Bayat and later
    Shusha fortress, which became the center of Karabakh khanate.

    Ismayilov said there is a number of important legal documents and
    other legislative acts to protect Shahbulag Palace and other historic
    monuments in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan.
