Kalbajar

 

Kalbajar (Azerbaijani: Kəlbəcər) is a rayon of Azerbaijan. It was a predominantly Kurdish inhabited area^{[citation needed]}. Kalbajar is a Kurdish name meaning Stone City^{[citation needed]}. The entire region is now under the control of Armenian separatists from Nagorno-Karabakh, who call the western half Karvajar, and the eastern half is officially part of Nagorno-Karabakh, making up part of the province of Martakert^{[citation needed]}. The Azeri and Kurdish population of Kalbajar were expelled by Armenian forces and currently live as internally displaced persons in the other regions of Azerbaijan^{[citation needed]}. The UN Security Council Resolution # 822, adopted on on 30 April 1993, calls for “immediate withdrawal of all occupying forces from the Kelbadjar district and other recently occupied areas of Azerbaijan”^[1].
