Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said Sunday that his country's forces had captured the town of Shusha in Nagorno-Karabakh, in what would be a major strategic victory over the region's Armenian separatists. "With great pride and joy, I inform you that the town of Shusha has been liberated," Aliyev said in a televised address to the nation, as Armenian officials reported heavy fighting for the town. eg-mm/acl/wdb
