Dzyunashogh (Armenian: Ձյունաշող; Azerbaijani: Qızıl Şəfəq, anglicized: Gizil Shafag, lit. 'Golden Dawn') is a town in the Lori Province of Armenia near the Armenia–Georgia border. The village was populated by Azerbaijanis before they were forcefully expelled after the outbreak of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.[1][2]
History[]
Between May and July 1989, the Azerbaijani population of Gizil Shafag were subject to an unusual village exchange with the then-Armenian population of Karkanj in Azerbaijan.[3][4]
