Çaylaqqala (Chaylaggala) or Khtsaberd (Armenian: Խծաբերդ) is a village in the Khojavend District of Azerbaijan, in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh. The village had an ethnic Armenian-majority population prior to the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, and also had an Armenian majority in 1989.[3]

History[]

The village has a simple Armenian church that was built in 1836, which was semi-ruined by 1990. It was collectivized in 1932, and electricity was brought to the village in 1962. 155 residents of the village had fought in World War II, of which 84 died and there is a World War II memorial in the village to honour the dead. In 1987 there were 52 households with 154 inhabitants, all of them Armenian.[4]

During the Soviet period, the village was a part of the Hadrut District of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast. The village was captured by Armenian forces during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War and became a part of the Hadrut Province of the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh. Khtsaberd/Chaylaggala, Hin Tagher and Katarovank became an Artsakh holdout in the Hadrut Province during the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war.[5] Clashes erupted around the Armenian holdout pocket despite the ceasefire agreement.[6][7] Following the clashes, Azerbaijan recaptured the 2 villages on 12 December 2020. Russian peacekeepers were reported to have arrived in 13 December 2020. Subsequently, it was reported that the villages were came under Azerbaijani control as Russian peacekeepers removed the area from their map of responsibility in 14 December 2020.[8][9]
