Jidir Duzu (Victory Road) Tourism

Jidir Duzu, also known as Victory Road, is a vast flat area located in the town of Shusha, within the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh, internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan. The plateau has historical significance and has been associated with various cultural and traditional events, including horse racing and celebratory gatherings. This cultural and historical significance was amplified after the conflicts in the region; Jidir Duzu became a symbol of resilience and ethnic identity. Since the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, it has been under the control of Azerbaijan. The area is marked by its scenic beauty, surrounded by the craggy landscape of the Caucasus and offering panoramic views of the surrounding territory. Shusha itself, being a mountainous city, has a rich cultural legacy with historic mosques, churches, and a multitude of cultural monuments, contributing to its reputation as a city of music and poets. Visitors to Jidir Duzu can sense the deep historical narratives embedded in the region, and the plateau offers a unique perspective on the interplay of natural beauty and human history.
