"The main goal of Azerbaijan is to restore the liberated territories and cultural heritage," Azerbaijani Minister of Culture Anar Kerimov said at an event entitled "The cultural economy in Azerbaijan: Shusha - impulses for development."

"Today, along with the restoration of the liberated territories, we are actively working to restore the historical heritage, culture, values, and traditions of Karabakh," he said, according to Trend.

The minister stressed that Azerbaijan has every opportunity to implement this initiative.

According to Kerimov, the creative industry is gaining importance in the development of the cultural economy.
