Otaqlı (Otagly) is a ghost village in the Kalbajar District of Azerbaijan.
History
[edit]The village was located in the Armenian-occupied territories surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh, coming under the control of ethnic Armenian forces during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War in the early 1990s.
The village subsequently became part of the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh as part of its Kashatagh Province.
It was returned to Azerbaijan as part of the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh ceasefire agreement. Subsequently, Azerbaijani Ministry of Defence published a video from the village, showing the ruined state of the village following its occupation.[1]
