The British online newspaper The Independent published an article on the Shusha Declaration signed by the Presidents of Azerbaijan and Turkey.

Axar.az reports that the article titled "Turkish and Azerbaijani leaders hold talks in the liberated territories" discusses the Turkish President's visit to the liberated territories and the Declaration signed with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.

It is noted that Shusha, the center of Azerbaijani culture for centuries, came under the control of Armenia in 1992, but was liberated on November 8, 2020 by the Azerbaijani Armed Forces. During the talks between Recep Tayyip Erdogan and President Ilham Aliyev in Shusha, which is strategically important, a declaration was signed aimed at deepening cooperation between the two countries in several areas, including security.

The article also includes the views expressed by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev after the signing of the Declaration. The article also notes that the first foreign leader to visit Shusha after the recapture of Shusha by Azerbaijan was Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. It was noted that the Turkish President announced the opening of a consulate of this country in Shusha.

The article also talks about the short-term destruction of the Armenian armed forces by the Azerbaijani Army during the war in September-November last year. It is said that the war ended with a tripartite statement signed by the Presidents of Azerbaijan and Russia, as well as the Prime Minister of Armenia on November 10, and Armenia left the occupied territories for almost 30 years. The tripartite statement caused a political crisis in Armenia, and acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan was forced to call early parliamentary elections.
