Karki (also ''Kərki'', ''Kiarki'', ''Kyarki'') or Tigranashen is ''de jure'' an exclave of Azerbaijan's Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic. Since May 1992 following the Nagorno-Karabakh War, it has been controlled de facto by Armenia, which administers the territory as part of its Ararat Province. The main highway connecting northern Armenia with southern Armenia passes right by the village, which is today mostly inhabited by Armenians, both locals and refugees from Azerbaijan. It has been renamed ''Tigranashen'' by the Armenian government after the ancient king Tigranes the Great, under whose reign the Kingdom of Armenia attained its greatest power.〔(Karki / Tigranashen exclave – Azerbaijan – Azerb.com )〕 Its size is about 19 square kilometers.〔()〕 After the war, many of the former inhabitants of Karki resettled in a new village with the name of New Karki (Azeri: Yeni Kərki), created within the Kəngərli Rayon (region) of Azerbaijan. ==See also== * Artsvashen * Barkhudarli * Yukhari Askipara * Ashagi Askipara * Yeni Kərki 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Karki, Azerbaijan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
