Place in Khojavend, Azerbaijan
Place in Khojavend, Azerbaijan
Karmir Shuka (Armenian: Կարմիր Շուկա) or Girmizi Bazar (Azerbaijani: Qırmızı Bazar) is a village in the Khojavend District of Azerbaijan, in the region of Nagorno-Karabakh. Until 2023 it was controlled by the breakaway Republic of Artsakh. The village had an ethnic Armenian-majority population[2] until the exodus of the Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh following the 2023 Azerbaijani offensive in Nagorno-Karabakh.[3]
The name of the village was Krasny Bazar (Russian: Красный Базар) during the Soviet Union, meaning “Red Market” in Russian. The Armenian name, and the Azerbaijani rendering, also mean “Red Market”.[4]
During the Soviet period, the village was a part of the Martuni District of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast.

[edit]
Historical heritage sites in and around the village include Tnjri, a 2,000-year-old Oriental Plane, the 12th/13th-century village of Mavas (Armenian: Մավաս), a 12th/13th-century khachkar, a cemetery from between the 17th and 18th centuries, the 17th-century monastic complex of Yerek Mankuk (Armenian: Երեք մանկուք) in Mavas, the church of Surb Astvatsatsin (Armenian: Սուրբ Աստվածածին, lit. ‘Holy Mother of God‘) built in 1731 near the nearby village of Skhtorashen, and the 18th-century St. George’s Chapel Church (Armenian: Սուրբ Գևորգ մատուռ-եկեղեցի, romanized: Surb Gevorg Matur-Yekeghetsi).[1][5]
Economy and culture
[edit]
The population is mainly engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry. As of 2015, the village has a municipal building, a house of culture, a secondary school, a kindergarten, eight shops, and a medical centre. The community of Karmir Shuka includes the village of Skhtorashen.[1]
The village had 926 inhabitants in 2005,[6] and 1,113 inhabitants in 2015.[1]
As of November 2025, 51 Azerbaijani families, totaling 199 individuals, have been resettled in the village.[7]
