Zağalar is a village in the Kalbajar District of Azerbaijan.[2] [3]

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. It subsequently became part of the Martakert Province of the breakaway Republic of Artsakh, referred to as Andzavner (Armenian: Անձավներ). It was returned to Azerbaijan as part of the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh ceasefire agreement.
