Aghdam District, Administrative district in western Azerbaijan
The district spans 1,150 square kilometers across the Karabakh Economic Region, bordering six other districts including Khojaly, Kalbajar, and Tartar.
Founded on August 8, 1930, Aghdam District remained under Armenian control from 1993 until its return to Azerbaijan through a ceasefire agreement in November 2020.
The name Aghdam derives from old Turkic language meaning white castle, referring to defense structures built by early tribes in this region.
The district capital moved to Quzanli after the original capital Aghdam experienced extensive damage during conflicts in the 1990s.
The Aghdam Bread Museum, established in 1983, held the distinction of being the second bread museum in the world before its destruction in 1992.
