Karabakh economic region, Economic region in southwestern Azerbaijan
Karabakh is an economic region in southwestern Azerbaijan that includes eight districts spread across the area. The territory is connected by highways and a railway line that link the different districts together and to the rest of the country.
The region was reorganized in 2021 as one of Azerbaijan's economic zones, replacing an earlier administrative structure for the area. This change was part of how the country reshaped its regional organization.
The region is home to diverse communities whose traditions appear in local buildings, crafts, and celebrations that continue to shape daily life. Walking through settlements and their surroundings, you can see how people have built and maintained spaces that matter to them across generations.
Plan your visit during good weather, as the districts are spread across the region and best explored by road. Allow enough time to see different areas, since they are not clustered in one place.
Though the region experienced isolation for a long time, it has been undergoing active recovery with new investments in infrastructure and economic development. This transformation makes it a place where you can see how communities are rebuilding and reshaping their surroundings.
