Papravənd or Nor Karmiravan(Armenian: Նոր Կարմիրավան) is a village in the Aghdam District of Azerbaijan.

History

The village was located in the Armenian-occupied territories surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh, coming under the control of ethnic Armenian forces during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War in the early 1990s. The village subsequently became part of the breakaway Republic of Artsakh as part of its Martakert Province, where it was known as Nor Karmiravan (Armenian: Նոր Կարմիրավան). It was returned to Azerbaijan as part of the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh ceasefire agreement.
