Aghjakend (Azerbaijani: Ağcakənd) or Khandzadzor (Armenian: Խանձաձոր) is a village in the Khojavend District of Azerbaijan, in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh. The village had an ethnic Armenian-majority population prior to the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, and also had an Armenian majority in 1989.[2]
During the Soviet period, the village was part of the Hadrut District of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast.

The village came under the control of Azerbaijan on 20 October 2020, during the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war.[3]
