Hadrut District (Russian: Гадрутский район, Azerbaijani: Hadrut rayonu, Һадрут рајону; Armenian: Հադրութի շրջան) was an administrative unit within the former Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast (NKAO) of the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic.[2]

History

The district was formed on 8 August 1930, as the Dizak district; it was renamed Hadrut District on 17 September 1939.[3] The administrative center of the district was the town of Hadrut.[1]

The total area of the district was 679 km2 and it included 41 villages (1986).[1]

Along with NKAO, the district was abolished on 26 November 1991 and was incorporated into Khojavend District of Azerbaijan.[4]

Following the First Nagorno-Karabakh war, the former district came under the control of the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh and was incorporated into its Hadrut Province. However, during the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, Azerbaijan recaptured the town of Hadrut during the Battle of Hadrut, followed by the whole of the district.[5]
