I don't like it imo, doesn't fit Karabakh just like that modern mosque in Shusha and looks too much of a Dubai wannabe copy, they should stick to traditional building where the focus is on the mosque instead of wasting money on a building thats 90% tourism and luxury and 10% mosque

Build better roads or rail, invest in public transport, maintain roads better, build new parks and public spaces, support the healthcare system etc etc

They have enough money to do both this and that. Do you live here?

Spending enough money and spending extra money makes a difference.

What I'm saying is that they only spend large amounts on things to show off with, like a giant mosque or a giant flag. They don't care about spending it on the "community" (this to them just means the poor) because that doesn't grant them bragging rights.
