Dəmirçilər (Damirchilar) is a village in the Qubadli District of Azerbaijan. It's located between the two rivers of Bargushad and Aghachay.

History

[edit]

The origin of this village's name comes from Turkish tribes which subsisted in this region over a period of history.

It was captured by Armenian troops in August 1993 during First Nagorno-Karabakh War and was renamed Yerkatavork (Armenian: Երկաթավորք). It was subsequently made part of the Kashatagh Province of self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh.[1] It was captured by Azerbaijan Army on 7 November 2020 during the Lachin offensive.
