Claim: Yaradullu is a territory of Azerbaijan (Yaradullu, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2021-06-16): Meanwhile, other nearby areas, which were previously part of Soviet Azerbaijan are now under Armenian control. These are the agricultural areas of Kyohna Ghshlagh and Yaradullu villages. [...] Yet another area which allows Azerbaijan to control is the part where Armenian village Barekamavan and Azerbaijani Ghaymakhli meet. This is also a territory, where Armenian villagers are unable to cultivate their lands because of the presence of Azerbaijani snipers. It is hard to give an exact figure for Armenian lands under Azerbaijani control in Tavush region. However, my own calculations sum up to around 3000 hectares. On the other hand, it is important to note that Azerbaijan also suffered significant losses in early 1990-ies. Around 6 Azerbaijani villages from Ghazakh region are currently under Armenian control. Those villages are Yukhari Aksipara, Ashaghi Aksipara, Baghanis-Ayrum, Barkhudarlu, Sofulu, Kheyrimli. The last village has appeared in the neutral zone between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The villages of Yukhari Aksipara, Ashaghi Aksipara and Baghanis-Ayrum are within the administrative boundaries of Noyemberyan, while Barkhudarlu, Sofulu and Kheyrimli are part of Ijevan municipality. One more reminder. The previously Armenian village of Artsvashen in the north-east continues to be occupied by Azerbaijan since August 1992.

Claim: Yaradullu is a territory of Azerbaijan (Yaradullu, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2021-01-28): Onwards to south Caucasus, I would start in Azerbaijan, a country I’ve already visited once and fell in love with. I would spend a few days in Baku before flying to Nakhchivan, an exclave of Azerbaijan. I would also try to visit Azerbaijan’s five other exclaves (Yukhari Askipara, Barkhudarli, Karki, Yaradullu north and Yaradullu south) as well as Armenia’s exclave, Artsvashen. I would then head to Georgia to go hiking in the mountains before making my way to Armenia, where my main focus would be seeking out some of the oldest churches and cathedrals in the world, and getting to know the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh/Artsakh (if it’s possible to enter at the time). [...] New territories: 18 (Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Nakhchivan, Yukhari Askipara, Barkhudarli, Karki, Yaradullu north, Yaradullu south, Artsvashen, Nagorno-Karabakh/Artsakh, Barak, Sokh, Shakhimardan, Chon-Qora, Jani-Ayil, Vorukh, Kayragach and Sarvan)

Claim: Yaradullu is a territory of Armenia (Yaradullu, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-09-03): The issue of exclaves/enclaves is another border-related issue; there is an exclave called Artsvashen which is formally part of Soviet-era Armenia but controlled by and situated entirely within the current Republic of Azerbaijan; likewise, there are 4 Azerbaijani exclave villages of Karki, Yukhari Askipara, Barxudarlı and Sofulu that were formally part of Soviet-era Azerbaijan but are controlled by and situated entirely within the current Republic of Armenia.[87] [...] Nikolay Bordyuzha, the former longtime secretary general of the CSTO said "the issue is Armenian territory, the ownership of which is not under question," adding that "the entire international community sees this territory as the sovereign territory of Armenia. According to its own documents, the CSTO is obliged to react in the case of an incursion by the armed forces of another state."[387][156] Neil Hauer, a journalist specializing in the Caucasus points out that Azerbaijan's September 2022 invasion of Armenia occurred only a few days after Russia's forces experienced military setbacks in Ukraine's Kharkiv region and the "CSTO was exposed as a paper tiger."[223] [...] - ^ "Azerbaycan duyurdu: Ermenistan ile çatışmalarda 71 asker hayatını kaybetti" Archived 10 December 2022 at the Wayback Machine.

Claim: Yaradullu is a territory of Armenia (Yaradullu, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-09-25): The Iron Age kingdom of Urartu was replaced by the Orontid dynasty, which ruled Armenia first as satraps under Achaemenid Persian rule and later as independent kings.[7][8] Following Persian and subsequent Macedonian rule, the Kingdom of Greater Armenia was established in 190 BC by Artaxias I, founder of the Artaxiad dynasty. The Kingdom of Armenia rose to the peak of its influence in the 1st century BC under Tigranes the Great before falling under Roman suzerainty.[9] In the 1st century AD, a branch of the ruling Arsacid dynasty of the Parthian Empire established itself on the throne of Armenia. [...] Although the Bolsheviks succeeded in ousting the Turks from their positions in Armenia, they decided to establish peace with Turkey. In 1921, the Bolsheviks and the Turks signed the Treaty of Kars, in which Turkey ceded Adjara to the USSR in exchange for the Kars territory (today the Turkish provinces of Kars, Surmalu, and Ardahan). The land given to Turkey included the ancient city of Ani and Mount Ararat, the spiritual Armenian homeland. In 1922, the newly proclaimed Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic, under the leadership of Alexander Miasnikyan, became part of the Soviet Union as one of three republics comprising the Transcaucasian SFSR.[122] [...] - ^ a b "Urartu/Armenia".

Evidence (2024-08-31): Additionally, in the northern stretch of the boundary area there are one Armenian (Artsvashen) and four Azerbaijani (Karki, Yukhari Askipara, Barxudarlı and Sofulu) exclave villages which are now controlled by their 'host' nation. In addition, since the 1990s, Armenia controlled another 4 villages within the de-jure borders of Azerbaijan: Aşağı Əskipara, Bağanis Ayrum, Qızılhacılı, and Xeyrimli, which were returned to Azerbaijan on 24 May 2024 in accordance with the border delimitation agreement.[8][9] [...] Post-2020 Demarcation Efforts [edit]In April 2024, Armenia and Azerbaijan began demarcating their common border based on Soviet-era maps, as a first step towards a potential peace agreement. On April 19, the two countries reached an agreement whereby Armenia handed over four abandoned villages along the border with Tavush Province to Azerbaijan: Bağanis Ayrum, Aşağı Əskipara, Xeyrimli, and Qızılhacılı, all formerly part of the Azerbaijani Soviet Socialist Republic's Qazax District and taken over by Armenia in the 1990s.[5] This condition, imposed by Azerbaijan as a prerequisite for the peace treaty, was described by Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan as an alternative to war, although the decision led to backlash in Armenia. Protests erupted in the country, with former residents of two of the villages blocking traffic on the Armenia–Georgia highway near Lake Sevan, Noyemberyan and other places, as sections of the highway risked being handed over.[66][67][68]
Claim: Yaradullu is a territory of Armenia (Yaradullu, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-09-29): During the 1230s, the Mongol Empire conquered Zakarid Armenia and then the remainder of Armenia. The Mongolian invasions were soon followed by those of other Central Asian tribes, such as the Kara Koyunlu, Timurid dynasty and Ağ Qoyunlu, which continued from the 13th century until the 15th century. After incessant invasions, each bringing destruction to the country, with time Armenia became weakened.[85] [...] Armenia has a territorial area of 29,743 square kilometres (11,484 sq mi). The terrain is mostly mountainous, with fast flowing rivers, and few forests. The land rises to 4,090 metres (13,419 feet) above sea level at Mount Aragats, and no point is below 390 metres (1,280 ft) above sea level.[152] Average elevation of the country area is tenth highest in the world and it has 85.9% mountain area, more than Switzerland or Nepal.[153] Mount Ararat, which was historically part of Armenia, is the highest mountain in the region at 5,137 meters (16,854 feet). Now located in Turkey, but clearly visible from Armenia, it is regarded by the Armenians as a symbol of their land. Because of this, the mountain is present on the Armenian national emblem today.[154][155][156]
Claim: Yaradullu is a territory of Armenia (Yaradullu, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-05-21): Furthermore, the Azerbaijani armed forces took control of the protruding large pieces of Armenian territory between the villages of Paravakar, Yaradullu, Kohnaqislaq (approximately 8-10 km², including two micro-esclaves of Azerbaijan located west of the village of Yaradullu), the territory north of the village of Vazashen (more than 6 km²), through which the highway connecting the village of Bala Jafarli with the rest of Azerbaijan runs. They took control of almost all the heights along the eastern border of former Shamshadin region, where small Azerbaijani villages were situated, and Armenian military posts had to be set up much deeper into Armenian territory, at a distance of more than one kilometer from the Soviet-era administrative border. A similar scenario unfolded in Nakhichevan area, marked by the struggle for the control over the heights of the high-mountain Zangezur range (where the 1990s were relatively calm, but the situation escalated in the 2010s).
Claim: Yaradullu is a territory of Armenia (Yaradullu, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2020-11-05): It is a region under Azerbaijan’s Qazakh District. Barxudarlı is an exclave area that is located completely inside the Armenian territory and not connected with Azerbaijani territories. The area of approximately 22 square km area has been under Armenian occupation since 1992. After the occupation, the Armenian population was settled in the region and it was administered as a part of Armenia’s Tavush province. The current population of the region, which was established by Azerbaijani Turks in the 16th century, is around 450. Sofulu, a region under the Qazakh District of Azerbaijan, borders Barxudarlı. The region is not connected with the Azerbaijani mainland and is an exclave area within the Armenian territory. The Armenian Armed Forces occupied the approximately 40 square km area in 1992. The current population of the region is around 200. [...] Two unnamed agricultural lands, parallel to the village of Yaradullu in Azerbaijan's Agstafa District, are referred to as Azerbaijani exclaves. These areas are also under Armenian occupation.
