Yukhari Askipara
History
There are three medieval bridges, a fortress and the ruins of a church in the village.
According to the 1915 publication of the Caucasian Calendar, Yukhari Askipara (Аксибара Стар., Aksibara Star.) had a predominantly Tatar (later known as Azerbaijani) population of 278 in 1914.
The village was captured by Armenians in 1990 and its Azerbaijani inhabitants (some 500 people comprising around 100 families) were expelled, becoming internally displaced persons in other villages of Azerbaijan's Qazakh district. The village is now administered as part of the Tavush Province of Armenia.
