Kalbajar (Kəlbəcər) is a region in the de-facto independent Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and still recognized as an rayon of Azerbaijan. Historically, an Armenian territory, it had a significat Kurdish population until the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. Kalbajar is a Turkified version of the original name Karvajar, which means Stone City in Armenian.
The entire region is now under the control of Armenian separatists from Nagorno-Karabakh, who call the western half Karvajar, and the eastern half is officially part of Nagorno-Karabakh, making up part of the province of Martakert. The Azeri and Kurdish population of Kalbajar fled after control of the region was taken by Armenian forces and currently lives as internally displaced persons in regions of Azerbaijan. The UN Security Council Resolution # 822, adopted on on 30 April 1993, calls for “immediate withdrawal of all occupying forces from the Kelbadjar district and other recently occupied areas of Azerbaijan”.
