Kalbajar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 Armenians 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 United Nations Security Council Resolution 822, adopted on 30 April 1993, calls for "immediate withdrawal of all occupying forces from the Kelbadjar district and other recently occupied areas of Azerbaijan"[1].
