History
The village was known as Leninkend (Azerbaijani: Leninkənd) during Soviet times until it was renamed in 1999 to Qarakeçdi.[1]
It was located in the Armenian-occupied territories surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh, coming under the control of ethnic Armenian forces in May 1992 during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War.
The village subsequently became part of the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh as part of its Kashatagh Province, referred to as Leharnovit (Armenian: Լեռնահովիտ), and previously Yeznagomer (Եզնագոմեր).
It was returned to Azerbaijan as part of the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh ceasefire agreement.
