IW/GW. Project. Make a presentation on "Shusha is the Conservatoire of the Caucasus".

Shusha is the homeland to a great number of Azerbaijani poets, architects, musicians and other people of culture from the Caucasus, Middle East and Central Asia, as well as military leaders and generals. The people of Azerbaijan have retained their ancient musical tradition. For example, the art of ashugs, who improvise songs to their own accompaniment on a stringed instrument* called a kobuz, remains extremely popular. We call Shusha "the Conservatoire of the Caucasus". (Source: “Azerbaijan: Cultural Life ” Encyclopedia Britannica).

Use capital letters to begin a sentence and for proper nouns, including the special names of people, days, months, holidays, cities, states and countries. We should write all the proper names with the capital letter. Sample: Elmir, Vagif, Anar, Ali, Monday, January, History, Azerbaijan, etc.
