Hadrut

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hadrut (Հադրութ in Armenian is one of the provinces of Nagorno-Karabakh. It forms the southern border of Nagorno-Karabakh, and one of the most mountainous parts. Villages are primarily found along two river valleys and scattered in lower elevations on the very southern fringe. Excavations of Azokh Cave show that humans have inhabited this area for tens of thousands of years, and the region has a rich history.

It is made up of the southwestern half of the Azerbaijani rayon of Khojavend; the other half is the Nagorno-Karabakh province of Martuni. It is completely under Armenian control.
