Claim: Barkhudarli is a territory of Azerbaijan (Barkhudarli, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2020-10-16): Nagorny Karabakh and adjacent administrative regions of the Republic of Azerbaijan – Lachin, Kelbajar, Gubadli, Zangilan, Jebrayil, Agdam (regional center and a large part of the territory) and Fizuli (regional center and a large part of the territory) were occupied by Armenia from 1989 to 1993. At present, Armenians transgressed a total of 558 km of the state border – the 198 km Azerbaijani-Iranian border from Horadiz settlement of the Fizuli region to the borders of the Zangilan region, and 360 km Azerbaijani-Armenian border. These territories are now under complete control of the Armenian military forces. Armenian forced destroyed buildings, outposts, frontier posts and demarcation lines from the USSR period along the border. The occupied areas along the Azerbaijani-Iranian borders are currently used for uncontrolled smuggling and sometimes for transportation of drugs. Construction materials for residential and public building and cut forest trees are transported from the occupied regions of Azerbaijan through the seized borders to Iran by Armenia. [...] Other from that, the Kerki settlement of Sadarak region in Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic, Ashagi Akipara, Yukhari Askipara, Gushchu Ayrim, Barkhudarli settlements of Gazakh region and other ones situated at the Azerbaijan-Armenia border were destroyed and occupied.
Claim: Barkhudarli is a territory of Azerbaijan (Barkhudarli, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2023-01-01): Gazax is a city in and the capital of the Gazakh District of Azerbaijan. It has a population of 95,800 (01.01.2023). Gazakh is a city and administrative district in the west of Azerbaijan, the "western gate" of Azerbaijan. Gazakh district - after the territorial claims of Armenia against Azerbaijan, Armenian Armed Forces attacked all the districts of Azerbaijan on the border with Armenia. Since March, 1990, Armenian armed troops had fired upon the border villages of Gazakh district. At first they invaded Baghanis Ayrim village located on the Ijevan-Noyemberyan highway. In April, 1992, the Armenians occupied Barkhudarli and Sofulu villages of Gazakh district. Afterwards the Armenians occupied four more villages of Gazakh district – Ashaghi Askipara, Kheyrimli, Gizilhajili, Yukhari Askipara villages. On may 24, 2024, the State Border Service of Azerbaijan took under control the liberated villages of Baghanis Ayrim, Ashaghi Askipara, Kheyrimli and Gizilhajili of the Gazakh district. [...] An elementary school, a hospital, a house of culture, 2 libraries with holdings containing 16830 books were demolished in Ashaghi Askipara village. A library with holdings containing 8512 books in Kheyrimli village, a library with holdings containing 10335 books in Gizilhajili village, a library with holdings containing 14829 books in Sofulu village, and a library with holdings containing 16105 books in Barkhudarli village, also public catering establishments, schools, and hospitals were razed to the ground.
Claim: Barkhudarli is a territory of Azerbaijan (Barkhudarli, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-05-30): The fate of the exclave villages in the Gazakh district (Yukhary Askipara, Sofulu, and Barkhudarli) seems to be a potential subject for further negotiations. [...] Therefore, it can be said that a basis for negotiations on delimitation in the Tovuz and Gedabey directions has emerged. However, the issue of Bashkend, which is considered an exclave territory of Armenia within Soviet administrative borders and is under Azerbaijani control, might become the foundation of these negotiations. It is possible that the sides will discuss an exchange of exclaves. (Recently, in an interview with a local internet TV channel, deputy Rasim Musabayev did not rule out the return of Bashkend, but his speech caused strong indignation on social media). [...] Responding to a question about the territories handed over to Azerbaijan, the general said: "We have various infrastructures at every point, in every operational direction. The border troops in this direction perform the task assigned to them. The army is here, the army cannot go anywhere. Wherever the border troops serve, it is also the responsibility of the army, where we are ready to provide security."
Claim: Barkhudarli is a territory of Azerbaijan (Barkhudarli, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2022-10-08): Having exclaves within the territory of the other side can be another matter of dispute. Exclaves are pieces of territory of one state that are surrounded by the territory of one or more other states. In other words, these regions have no direct ground connection to the state they belong to except through the territory of the state within which they are located. Nakhchivan is a typical example of an exclave as seen from Azerbaijan. There are five Azerbaijani exclave villages in Armenia—Karki to the West, Ashaghi Askipara and Yukhari Askipara to the northeast and Barkhudarli and Sofulu to the east—and one Armenian exclave village in Azerbaijan—Artsvashen to the west. The problem is that these exclaves have been under the control of the host states since the 1990s and no Armenians or Azerbaijanis live there although they have never been removed from the official maps. The two sides appear to agree that the future of the exclaves should be settled if delimitation and demarcation are to be completed (Khachatryan, 2022).
Claim: Barkhudarli is a territory of Azerbaijan (Barkhudarli, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-10-09): As for the four non-exclave Azerbaijani villages (Baghanis Ayrim, Ashagi Askipara, Kheyrimli and Gizilhajili) occupied by Armenia, their affiliation to Azerbaijan is beyond any doubt and they are subject to immediate liberation, the Service of the Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Azerbaijan Shahin Mustafayev told APA regarding the meetings of the Commissions established in Azerbaijan and Armenia on the delimitation of the state border. The issue of liberation of four of Azerbaijan’s exclave villages (Yukhari Askipara, Sofulu, Barkhudarli and Karki) occupied by Armenia will also be resolved within the delimitation process.
Claim: Barkhudarli is a territory of Azerbaijan (Barkhudarli, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2023-11-07): In my opinion, there are two more reasons that hinder the peace process but that have not been disclosed by Azerbaijan yet. The fifth reason is still the issue of territorial integrity. Currently eight Azerbaijani villages (Baganis Ayrim, Upper Askipara, Lower Askipara, Kheyrimli, Gizilhajili, Sofulu, Barkhudarli and Karki) are under Armenian occupation and one Armenian exclave (Bashkend/Artsvashen) is under Azerbaijani occupation. In addition, Armenia claims that Azerbaijan occupied 200 square kilometers of Armenian territory in 2021. Azerbaijan first of all demands Armenia to agree on border delimitation and return the occupied villages. Pashinyan raised the option of returning the occupied villages on both sides – i.e., a land swap – after the 2020 war. However, he later changed his position and proposed to maintain the present state of affairs. Speaking about returning the territories demanded by Azerbaijan, Pashinyan recently said that Azerbaijan occupied four more Armenian villages: Berkaber (Bibish), Vazashen (Lelekend), Paravakar (Tatli) and Aygehovit (Uzuntala). Interestingly, it was the first time that these villages have been mentioned by an Armenian official. Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry has denied the allegations made by the Armenian prime minister.
Claim: Barkhudarli is a territory of Azerbaijan (Barkhudarli, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-09-19): According to him, on this day, Azerbaijan established its sovereignty over its entire internationally recognized territory for the first time since 1918. Regarding the exclaves (the villages of Kyarki, Barkhudarli-Sofulu, Yukhari-Askipara) under Armenian control, they will be returned through negotiations. [...] According to the conflictologist, the issue of Zangazur has become prominent due to the dispute between Moscow and Yerevan over control of the communications connecting Azerbaijan with its exclave, Nakhchivan. According to a trilateral statement dated November 10, the Armenian side committed to opening communications between Azerbaijan and its exclave, Nakhchivan. Armenia is resisting this, causing the resolution of this issue to be delayed. Consequently, the Azerbaijani side presents an ultimatum—if you do not want to restore communications, we will do it ourselves. Corresponding statements have been made regarding this matter.
Claim: Barkhudarli is a territory of Azerbaijan (Barkhudarli, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-08-28): Azerbaijan has eight enclave villages on the territory of Armenia – Yukhari Askipara, Ashaghi Askipara, Barkhudarli, Sofulu, Baghanis Ayrim, Gizilhajili, and Khairimli of the Gazakh region, as well as the village of Karki in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic. The first four of them are considered non-enclave villages by the Azerbaijani side because these villages are located on territory adjacent to Azerbaijan, on the border with Armenia. The rest are completely surrounded by Armenian territory. [...] According to Natig Jafarli, both countries need to hold a referendum for mutual exchange of enclaves. [...] If this issue is to be resolved within the framework of territorial exchange, which is quite possible, it cannot be implemented without constitutional reform. Because both the Azerbaijani constitution and the Armenian constitution imply the possibility of territorial change only through a referendum. Therefore, I think this is a question that can be addressed at the very end," says Jafarli.
Claim: Barkhudarli is a territory of Azerbaijan (Barkhudarli, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2023-12-13): An exchange of detained servicemen between Azerbaijan and Armenia took place in the direction of Bala Jafarli village of Gazakh district on the Azerbaijani-Armenian border, Azernews reports. The exchange took place at ground zero of the Azerbaijani state border near the village of Balajafarli in Gazakh district, on the highway formerly known as Gazakh-Ijevan. Representatives of the State Border Service reported that this road leads to the Azerbaijani villages of Soflu and Barkhudarli, which are Azerbaijani exclaves on Armenian territory. Another Azerbaijani exclave, the village of Yukhary Eskipara, is located to the right of the exchange site, again on Armenian territory, and there are seven villages in total.

Evidence (2024-01-01): Our main aims are to ensure that Karabakh is not forgotten and to convey Azerbaijan's just position on the Armenia–Azerbaijan Nagorno – Karabakh conflict to all people of goodwill and justice.
Claim: Barkhudarli is a territory of Azerbaijan (Barkhudarli, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-09-08): Armenia still has many obligations to fulfil; this means that the work does not end only with the delimitation and demarcation of the borders. The return of Karki village belonging to the Sadarak area of Nakhchivan, Sofulu, Barkhudarli and Yukhari Eskipara villages of Gazakh to Azerbaijan is another issue on the agenda. However, this can be considered small compared to the issue of the Zangazur Corridor. Why small? - Because this issue has started to interest the states of the region more than Armenia. We would even say that it caused panic among the states of the region. The opening of the Zangazur Corridor first was much to neighbouring Iran's consternation. As a result, it led to a militaristic union between Tehran and Yerevan. Although the Yerevan authorities are considering some positive measures regarding the fate of the Zangazur Corridor, Iran's counter-interference in the matter has emboldened Armenia a bit.
Claim: Barkhudarli is a territory of Azerbaijan (Barkhudarli, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-01-01): Nagorno-Karabakh: 1988-1992, territory 4400 km2; Shusha: may 08, 1992, territory 289 km2; Lachin: may 18, 1992, territory 1840 km2; Kalbajar: april 2, 1993, territory 3054 km2; Aghdam: july 23, 1993, territory 1150 km2; Fizuli: august 23, 1993, territory 1390 km2; Jabrayil: august 23, 1993, territory 1050 km2; Gubadli: august 31, 1993, territory 802 km2; Zangilan: october 29, 1993, territory 707 km2; Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic: Kerki village in Sadarak region (1990); Gazakh region: the villages Baghanis Ayrim (24 March 1990), Kheyrimli (8 March 1992), Sofulu, Barkhudarli (27 April 1992), Yukhari Askipara (8 June 1992), Gizil Hajili (11 June 1992) and Ashaghi Askipara (14 June 1992) [...] The Gazakh region villages Baghanis Ayrim, Kheyrimli, Sofulu, Barkhudarli, Yukhari Askipara, Gizil Hajili and Ashaghi Askipara, as well as Kerki village in the Sadarak region of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, will also be liberated from Armenian occupation. After the cessation of hostilities on 10 November 2020, Azerbaijan's sovereignty was established over other cities, settlements and villages in Karabakh, and the territorial integrity of the Republic of Azerbaijan was restored. Karabakh is Azerbaijan!
Claim: Barkhudarli is a territory of Azerbaijan (Barkhudarli, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-10-07): This follows earlier statements made by Yerevan that the latest draft agreement which was received from Baku contained changes in the text that endanger the overall peace process.[12] Armenia also argued that the signing of the peace agreement should be linked to a border demarcation mechanism, which Baku rejects. In a recent interview, Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev discussed the status of former Soviet Azerbaijani exclaves and villages currently under Armenian control, especially in light of the ongoing border demarcation efforts.[13] These areas, smaller and distant from the long-disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region, have gained attention following Azerbaijan’s reassertion of control over Karabakh. Seven such villages are located in Gazakh district, with four on the Azerbaijani side of the former Soviet border – Baghanis Ayrim, Lower Askipara, Kheyrimli, and Gizilhajili – occupied by Armenian forces in the 1990s. Three others – Upper Askipara, Sofulu, and Barkhudarli – and another exclave, Karki, are unique Soviet-era enclaves. An Armenian exclave, Artsvashen, faced a similar situation.

Claim: Qazakh Rayon is a territory of Azerbaijan (Qazakh Rayon, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-08-19): So there are a couple of ways this district is spelled: Gazakh, Khazakh, Qazakh, and Qazax. Each of these spelling point to the northwestern district of Ganja-Gazakh state of Azerbaijan which shares international border with Georgia and Armenia. Not only does it share a border with Armenia, there are two regions of Gazakh district which are located in Armenia. [...] Your next best as well as cheapest alternative is to travel by bus. The public transport in Azerbaijan isn’t exactly luxurious. But it is way cheaper than any other alternative. Almost every town in Gazakh Rayon has its own bus stop. You will have to choose the route based on the things to see in Gazakh you wish to visit. You will be bound by bus timings for Gazakh travel. The daily frequency of buses is questionable. So get more information on bus routes and timings before you visit Gazakh. [...] As Qazakh Rayon is a landlocked district, you don’t have the option of water transport for Gazakh travel.
