Event March Days, Baku 2 cites Event Shusha pogrom (1905) 5 cites - In 1905 Karabakh, ARF armed detachments became more visible on the Armenian side, and Muslim notable networks and local armed men organised defence in the Azerbaijani quarters.
- Unlike the 1920 destruction of Armenian Shusha, the 1905 violence did not destroy the Armenian presence in the city. Armenian Shusha remained populated, if shaken, until the 1920 collapse.
- After 1905 Armenian political and military networks treated Shusha and Karabakh more broadly as evidence that armed self-defence was necessary because imperial Russian officials could not reliably protect Christian quarters during communal violence.
- The line from Khosrov-bek Sultanov's 1905 Karabakh-Muslim notable milieu to his 1920 role as ADR governor-general of Karabakh, perpetrating the destruction of the Armenian quarter of Shusha, is a structural illustration of how the 1905 inter-communal violence consolidated armed political identities across the next decade and a half.
- The 1905 structural legacy in Shusha — urban space mapped by danger, armed-organisation consolidation on both sides, discrediting of Imperial institutions — set the conditions for the 1920 destruction, the 1991-92 artillery operationalisation, and the 2020 recapture's symbolic weight.
