Fotur is a village in Badakhshan Province in north-eastern Afghanistan.[1]
It is located on the left bank of the Ab-i-Panja River. It is historically important, as it is the settlement in Wakhan territory nearest to the border with Eskashem, that border lying roughly two miles away. At the turn of the 20th century, there were roughly 60 inhabitants. Poplar trees grew plentifully.[2]
