Askeran region
Askeran region occupies the central part of the Artsakh Republic with an area of 1196.3 km2.
Part of the territory (right bank of Karkar) was part of the province of Varanda, and the other part (left bank of Karkar) was part of the province of Khachen. In this regard, Askeran is of particular importance for the development of the history, culture and economic life of Artsakh.
