Throughout modern history the city mainly fostered a mixed Armenian – Azerbaijani population . Following the Shusha massacre in 1920 by Azerbaijani forces and their Turkish supporters , the Armenian half of the population of the city was mostly killed or expelled , and the city reduced to a town with a dominant Azerbaijani population . After the capture of Shusha in 1992 by Armenian forces , its population diminished dramatically again and is now almost exclusively Armenian
