Khramort (hy|Խրամորթ; az|Xramort) or Pirlar (az|Pirlər)[2] is a village located in the Khojaly District of Azerbaijan, in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh. Until 2023 it was controlled by the breakaway Republic of Artsakh. The village had an ethnic Armenian-majority population[3] until the exodus of the Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh following the 2023 Azerbaijani offensive in Nagorno-Karabakh.[4]
During the Soviet period, the village was a part of the Askeran District of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast.
Armenpress reported that Azerbaijan continuously violated the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh ceasefire agreement in the direction of the village.[5]
Historical heritage sites in and around the village include a 13th-century khachkar, the 19th-century church of Surb Astvatsatsin (hy|Սուրբ Աստվածածին,), a 19th/20th-century cemetery, as well as World War II and Artsakh War memorials.[1]
The population is mainly engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry. As of 2015, the village has a municipal building, a house of culture, a secondary school and a medical centre.[1]
The village had 403 inhabitants in 2005,[6] and 524 inhabitants in 2015.[1]
