Shekher (Armenian : Շեխեր; Azerbaijani : Şexer) is a village in the Khojavend District of Azerbaijan, in the region of Nagorno-Karabakh. The village had an ethnic Armenian-majority population in 1989. [2]
During the Soviet period, the village was part of the Martuni District of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast within the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic. After the First Nagorno-Karabakh War, the village was administrated as part of the Martuni Province of the breakaway Republic of Artsakh. The village came under the control of Azerbaijan on 9 November 2020, during the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war. [3]
Historical heritage sites in and around the village include the church of Surb Vardan (Armenian : Սուրբ Վարդան), the 16th/17th-century shrine of Pir Bab (Armenian : Փիր բաբ) with an adjacent khachkar, and two 17th-century khachkars. [4]

In October 2018, the village signed a friendship declaration with the Commune of Arnouville, France. [6] In June 2019, the French administrative court of Cergy-Pontoise declared that the signing breached French law by exceeding the authority of a municipal jurisdiction and by not respecting the international commitments of France (notably Nagorno-Karabakh's lack of recognition as a state), proclaiming the declaration null and void.
