The history of the cities and districts of Nagorno-Karabakh is one of the least studied topical problems of the history of Azerbaijan. (On November 10, 2020, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, in an address to the people, announced the abolition of the status of Nagorno-Karabakh. And thus, at present, the term “Nagorno-Karabakh” as a political-geographical term is not used). The great scientific interest is a comprehensive study of the origin and development of the regions of Nagorno-Karabakh. The study of the emergence and development of cities and districts of Nagorno-Karabakh has the great scientific and political importance. Since historical geography is a new science, various sources were used to write articles. The choice of this topic is connected with the importance of Karabakh, an integral part of Azerbaijan. In particular, in Soviet times, the number of investigated works related to Karabakh cities was a minority. This makes the study of the work actual. The article provides information on the formation, territory, development and population composition of Karabakh in the Soviet period, Askeran region. Along with all this, there is also information about the national leader H. Aliyev's policy in this area.
Key words: Azerbaijan, Heydar Aliyev, Karabakh, Askeran, historical geography.
