Speaking about the population of the city, the mayor noted that currently more than 5,000 people live in the city. It is gratifying that every year the growth in the number of population is being registered.

"Many people want to settle in Shushi, but since 2008. There are some houses, that their owners do not live in the city.  If possible, these houses can be provided to the people who live in Shushi and need housing,” he added, as quoted by the source.
