Aşağı Ayrım (Aşağı Ayrım)
Aşağı Ayrım (Ashagi Ayrim) is a ghost village in the Kalbajar District of Azerbaijan. The whole village was occupied by Armenian forces in 1993 during the First Nagorno-Karabakh war. When the Kalbajar region was returned to Azerbaijani control in late 2020, the only roofed buildings were a barn and an animal pen.
Aşağı means 'lower' in Azerbaijani language and Ayrım is the name of a nearby river that tumbles through the site and on down a steep, picturesque mountain valley. The name Ayrım is thought to signify the former presence of Ayrums in the vicinity.
