Alkhasly (Azerbaijani: Alxaslı) or Arvakan (Armenian: Արվական) is a village in the Lachin District of Azerbaijan.

History

[edit]

Formerly part of Red Kurdistan and later the Kurdistan Okrug, the village was located in the Armenian-occupied territories surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh, coming under the control of ethnic Armenian forces during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War in May 1992. The village subsequently became part of the breakaway Republic of Artsakh as part of its Kashatagh Province, referred to as Arvakan (Armenian: Արվական). It was returned to Azerbaijan as part of the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh ceasefire agreement on 1 December 2020.
