Xudafərin (Khudaferin) is a town in the Jabrayil District of Azerbaijan.[1] The town is near the Khudaferin Bridges and the border with Iran.
It was occupied by the Armed Forces of Armenia between 1993 and late 2020.
History
The village was originally called Khudayarly after one of the four generations who lived in the village. During the World War II, part of the population moved and founded the village of Khalafli in the east. The rest of the village began to settle in the immediate vicinity of the Khudaferin bridge, and therefore the village began to be named Khudaferin.[2]
During the years of the Russian Empire, the village of Khudayarly was part of Jabrayil district, Elizavetpol province.
During the Soviet years, the village was part of Jabrayil district of Azerbaijan SSR. The town was captured by Armenian forces in the First Karabakh War and was destroyed.
