Prohibited Locations Around The World, Ağdam - Ruined City

The Azerbaijani Agdam was  founded  in the middle of the 18th Century.  In 1968 the city was have about 18,000 inhabitants, whose number grew in 1989 to almost 30,000.

The great misfortune for Agdam began in part of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, a dispute between the states of Armenia and Azerbaijan over the Nagorno-Karabakh in the Caucasus.

In July 1993, the city was occupied by Armenian troops. Since then Agdam was part of the internationally unrecognized Republic of Nagorno Karabakh.



During the conflict, fled the inhabitants of Agdam in other parts of Azerbaijan.


According to reports, the houses have been destroyed after the conquest by the troops of the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh to make the refugees return impossible.


Since that, become Agdam as a ghost town. In subsequent years, the decline was exacerbated by looting.



Agdam serves as a buffer zone between the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan. That means no one is allowed to visit her town, it falls more and more.
