Tiri is a village in the Zangilan District of Azerbaijan, lying close to the Araz River which forms the border between Azerbaijan and Iran.
History
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 1993.
The village subsequently became part of the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh as part of its Kashatagh Province.
It was recaptured by Azerbaijan during the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war.[1] Subsequently, Azerbaijani Ministry of Defence published a video from the village, showing the ruined state of the village following its occupation.[2][3]
