Karki

Armenia / Ararat / Zangakatun /

Karki (Azerbaijani: Kərki) is a village that is de jure an enclave and exclave of Azerbaijan, de facto under the control of Armenia.
The village was captured by Armenian forces on 19 January 1990, during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War.
Since May 1992, following the First Nagorno-Karabakh War, Karki has been controlled by Armenia, which governs the 8.23 km2 (3.18 sq mi) territory as part of its Ararat Province.
After the war, many of the former inhabitants of Karki resettled in a new village, Yeni Kərki (New Karki), created within the Kangarli District of Azerbaijan.
