Jamilli (Armenian: Ջամիլլի; Azerbaijani: Cəmilli) is a village de facto in the Askeran Province of the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh, de jure in the Khojaly District of Azerbaijan. The village had an Azerbaijani majority prior to their expulsion during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War.[1]

History[]

In July 1919, the village was looted and burnt as part of the Khaibalikend Massacre by armed Kurdish irregulars and Azerbaijani soldiers.[2][3]

During the Soviet period, the village was a part of the Askeran District of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast.

Demographics[]

According to the 1921 census, the village had a population of 125 people, with the entire population being Armenian.[4] Until the 1960s, the village was populated by Armenians, however, in 1963-1964, under the pretext of building a water pipeline to Stepanakert near the village, the population of the village were moved to the city of Stepanakert where they were provided land. After that, the village was populated by Azerbaijanis. In 1989, Jamilli had a population of 549 people.[5]

The Azerbaijani inhabitants of the village were expelled during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War. The Russian international historical and civil rights society Memorial wrote about the forced exodus of the Azerbaijani inhabitants of the village, along with several other Azerbaijani villages around the area.[6]
