Description
Xankəndi, also known as Stepanakert, is the capital city of the Republic of Artsakh, a landlocked region in the South Caucasus, internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan. It is situated in the mountainous region of Nagorno-Karabakh and plays a significant role in the culture and politics of the area. The city has a mostly Armenian population and has been a center of conflict and tension between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Historically, Xankəndi was established in the 19th century and has grown to become a vital center for the Armenian community in Nagorno-Karabakh. The city features various cultural institutions, including schools, museums, and theaters that promote Armenian culture and heritage. Xankəndi has also been the birthplace of several notable figures in Armenian history.
The city has undergone significant changes due to the geopolitical situation in the region. Following the Nagorno-Karabakh War, Xankəndi has been administered by ethnic Armenians, and its status has been a point of contention in negotiations between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Despite the ongoing tensions, Xankəndi remains a focal point for Armenian national identity and cultural expression.
