Lachin District, located in the southwestern part of Azerbaijan, is an important administrative division of the Nagorno-Karabakh region. The district covers an area of about 1,835 square kilometers and its capital is the city of Lachin. Lachin District is situated in the southern foothills of the Caucasus Mountains, and the terrain is predominantly mountainous, with altitudes ranging from 500 to 3,000 meters above sea level. The climate is mild, with cool summers and cold winters, which makes it suitable for the development of agriculture and animal husbandry.
Lachin District has historically been one of the focal points of the Azerbaijan-Armenia dispute. During the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in the 1990s, the district came under Armenian control and served as the "Lachin Corridor" linking Armenia proper to the NKR, and after the 2020 NKR War, Azerbaijan regained control of the district under a ceasefire agreement, but its status remains of international concern.
The economy of Lachin District is based on agriculture, producing cereals, fruits and livestock products. The local population is mostly Azerbaijani, with a rich traditional culture that preserves many historical sites and folklore activities. In recent years, the Azerbaijani government has worked to rebuild infrastructure and promote tourism to capitalize on its natural beauty and strategic location potential.
