Barkhudarly (Azerbaijani: Barxudarlı; Armenian: Բարխուդարլու, romanized: Barkhudarlu) is an abandoned Azerbaijani village in the Qazakh District of Azerbaijan, under the de facto control of Armenia. Along with the similarly abandoned village of Sofulu, Barxudarlı forms a 22 square kilometres (8.5 sq mi) exclave of Azerbaijan surrounded by Armenia's Tavush Province.

History

Following a four-day siege, the village was captured by the Armenian Armed Forces on 27 April 1992, during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War.[1] The exclave has been under the control of Armenia ever since and is administered as part of the surrounding Tavush Province.
