???? 360° GoPro Omni VR: Ghazanchetsots Cathedral | Shushi, Nagorno-Karabakh ???????? ????????
A 360° GoPro VR video of the Armenian Apostolic Church seat of the Diocese of Artsakh: Ghazanchetsots Cathedral, in Shushi.
Built between 1868 and 1887, the cathedral was consecrated in 1888. It was restored in the aftermath of the Nagorno-Karabakh War and reconsecrated in 1998. Standing 35m high, Ghazanchetsots is one of the largest Armenian churches in the world.
The political status of the Nagorno-Karabakh region remains unresolved. Since 1991, it has been largely controlled by the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh, a de facto independent entity. The region, however, is internationally recognized as de jure part of Azerbaijan, although it has not exercised power over most of the region since 1991. Since the end of the Nagorno-Karabakh War in 1994, representatives of the governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan have been holding peace talks mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group on the region's disputed status.

Nagorno Karabach - Shushi castle
Shusha (Azerbaijani: Şuşa; Russian: Шуша), or Shushi (Armenian: Շուշի), is a city in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh in the South Caucasus. It has been under the control of the self-proclaimed Nagorno-Karabakh Republic since its capture in 1992 during the Nagorno-Karabakh War. However, it is a de jure part of the Republic of Azerbaijan, with the status of an administrative division of the surrounding Shusha Rayon. Situated at an altitude of 1,400–1,800 metres (4,600–5,900 ft) in the picturesque Karabakh mountains, Shusha was a popular mountain recreation resort in the Soviet era.
According to some sources the town of Shusha was founded in 1752 by Panah Ali Khan.[3][4][5] Other sources suggest that Shusha served as a town and an ancient fortress in the Armenian principality of Varanda during the Middle Ages and through the 18th century.[6][7][8][9] From the mid-18th century to 1822 Shusha was the capital of the Karabakh Khanate. The town became one of the cultural centers of the South Caucasus after the Russian conquest of the Caucasus region in the first half of the 19th century over Qajar Iran.[10] Over time, it became a city and a home to many Azerbaijani intellectuals, poets, writers and especially, musicians (e.g., the ashiks, mugham singers, kobuz players).[11][12]
Along with Tbilisi; it was one of the two main Armenian cities of the Transcaucasus and the center of a self-governing Armenian principality from medieval times through the 1750s.[13] It also had religious and strategic importance to the Armenians, housing the Ghazanchetsots Cathedral, the church of Kanach Zham, two other churches, a monastic convent, and serving (along with Lachin district to the west) as a land link to Armenia.
Throughout modern history the city mainly fostered a mixed Armenian–Azerbaijani population. Following the Shusha massacre in 1920 by Azerbaijani forces and their Turkish supporters, the Armenian half of the population of the city was mostly killed or expelled, and the city reduced to a town with a dominant Azerbaijani population. After the capture of Shusha in 1992 by Armenian forces, its population diminished dramatically again and is now almost exclusively Armenian.
???? VR City Tour | #1: Shushi, Nagorno-Karabakh ???????? ????????【360 Video】
EPISODE 1 OF VR CITY TOURS: SHUSHI ???? ???????? ???????? | A NEW VR CITY TOUR EPISODE EVERY TUESDAY
Shushi (Şuşa to Azeris) stands on a plateau 9km from Stepanakert, with high walls and views over a wide swath of central Karabakh. The city was once a centre of Armenian and Azeri art and culture, and during the 19th century it was one of the largest towns in the South Caucasus with a multicultural population and a reputation for tolerance and peaceful coexistence. The city suffered badly during the war and much of its population left, but recovery has been under way for some time now. There are some excellent B&Bs in town, so if you want to experience village life in Karabakh consider spending a couple of nights up here, as it makes a good base for exploring the rest of the region.

Ghazanchetsots Cathedral / Սուրբ Ամենափրկիչ Ղազանչեցոց մայր տաճար
Սուրբ Ամենափրկիչ Ղազանչեցոց Եկեղեցի, Շուշիի մայր տաճարն է, կառուցված 1868-1887 թթ.։ Գանձասարից հետո՝ Արցախի երկրորդ կարևորագույն հոգևոր կենտրոնն է։ Կազմված է եկեղեցուց (1868 - 1887 թթ.) և զանգակատնից (1858 թ.)։ Ներկայումս այստեղ է գտնվում Արցախի թեմի առաջնորդի նստավայրը։ Ընդգրկված է Շուշիի պատմության և մշակույթի անշարժ հուշարձանների ցանկում:
Built between 1868 and 1887, the cathedral was consecrated in 1888. It was damaged during the March 1920 massacre of Armenians of the city by Azerbaijanis and experienced a decades-long decline under Soviet rule. During the Nagorno-Karabakh War Azerbaijan used the cathedral as an armory, where hundreds of missiles were stored. It was restored in the aftermath of the war and reconsecrated in 1998. A landmark of Shusha and Karabakh, it has become an icon for the Karabakh Armenian cause. Standing 35 metres (115 ft) high, Ghazanchetsots is one of the largest Armenian churches in the world.

A 360° GoPro VR video of the Great Mosque of Shushi - a.k.a. the Yukhari Govhar Agha Mosque. It was one of the finest pieces of Shia architecture in the region until the conflict saw it fall into a state of abandon and disrepair, as a result of the fighting and vandalism. It was captured by Armenian forces in 1992 and is currently nothing more than a shell of its former self, though (controversial) renovation plans by the de facto Nagorno-Karabakh government are afoot!

ARMENIAN NEWS: BREAKING NEWS 28.08.2018
If Azerbaijan announces about an intention to become a member in the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), Armenia will use its veto power.
Acting spokesperson for the Armenian Foreign Ministry Anna Naghdalyan recalled that in the case of both the CSTO and the Eurasian Economic Union, decisions are adopted based on mutual agreement by the member countries.
“The Armenian side has expressed its [respective] view,” Naghdalyan said. “I don’t think it gives a cause for a double entendre.”
The Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) is not nominating a candidate because even if that candidate will succeed, there will be a fight again as to who will be the mayor of Yerevan, MP Galust Sahakyan said.
“Our not running in the Yerevan Council of Elders’ elections is due to several circumstances,” spokesperson for RPA party Eduard Sharmazanov said. “First and foremost, due to [the fact] that it’s a post-power-change situation in Armenia today, the main ‘theater stage’ is the NA, and there are more important external and internal challenges for Armenia than the LSG [local self-government] elections.”
The National Assembly of Armenia on Tuesday adopted—in the first reading—the bill on making additions to the law on approving the programs toward the restoration, preservation, reproduction, and use of the ecosystem of Lake Sevan is on the agenda of this special session.
On August 23, the government approved this proposed law, according to which the amount of water to be released from Lake Sevan for irrigation purposes in 2018 is expected to increase from 170 million cubic meters to up to 210 million cubic meters.
The meeting between the Armenian President Armen Sarkissian and the Parliament Speaker Ara Babloyan took place on Tuesday.
Ara Babloyan said that during his yesterday's meeting with the Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, the sides noted that all steps to resolve the problems should be taken in accordance with democratic standards in the context of political dialogue, negotiations and discussions.
Armen Sarkissian, in turn, highlighted the importance of supremacy of the Constitution and noted that all problems should be resolved through dialogue and with the respect of the agreements achieved by the sides.
Bright Armenia and Republic parties will form an alliance to participate in the elections to the Council of Elders of Yerevan.
The electoral list of “Light” bloc will be headed by Justice Minister Artak Zeynalyan.
Instagram star Dan Bilzerian has left for Artsakh where he visited the famous monument of We are Our Mountains in Stepanakert, the military training camp and the beautiful Ghazanchetsots cathedral in Shusha.
Bilzerian also met with Artsakh Human Rights Defender Ruben Melikyan.

SUMMARY
=======
The Republic of Artsakh (; Armenian: Արցախի Հանրապետություն Arts'akhi Hanrapetut'yun), or simply Artsakh, also known by its official name between 1991 and 2017, the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (), is a de facto independent country in the South Caucasus, internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan. The region is populated mostly by Armenians and the primary spoken language is Armenian. Artsakh controls most of the territory of the former Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast and some of the surrounding area, giving it a border with Armenia to the west and Iran to the south. Its capital is Stepanakert.
The predominantly Armenian-populated region of Nagorno-Karabakh was claimed by both the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic and the First Republic of Armenia when both countries became independent in 1918 after the fall of the Russian Empire, and a brief war over Nagorno-Karabakh broke out in 1920. The dispute was largely shelved after the Soviet Union established control over the area and created the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast (NKAO) within the Azerbaijan SSR in 1923. During the fall of the Soviet Union, the region re-emerged as a source of dispute between Armenia and Azerbaijan. In 1991, a referendum held in the NKAO and the neighbouring Shahumian region resulted in a declaration of independence based on its right of self-determination. Large-scale ethnic conflict led to the 1991–1994 Nagorno-Karabakh War, which ended with a ceasefire.
The Artsakh Republic is a presidential democracy (in the middle of transforming from a semi-presidential one, after the 2017 referendum) with a unicameral legislature. Its reliance on Armenia means that in many ways it functions de facto as part of Armenia. The country is very mountainous, averaging 1,097 metres (3,599 ft) above sea level. The population is predominantly Christian, most being affiliated with the Armenian Apostolic Church. Several historical monasteries are popular with tourists, mostly from the Armenian diaspora, as most travel can take place only between Armenia and Artsakh.
