Once a thriving city of 150.000 souls with its own airfield, capital of Agdam rayon, today Agdam is the consummated portrait of the devastation brought about by the Nagorno Karabakh war, it was lost to Armenian forces in July 1993.
Although Agdam was not affected directly by bombardments or the place of combats, the city was systematically destroyed and looted by the Armenian forces.
Armenians from the neighbouring areas use Agdam as a source of construction materials, and the handful on non-military residents are professional scavengers, making a living from the materials taken from the abandoned buildings.

I hardly need to underline that the seizure of Agdam is in flat contradiction with past Nagorny Karabakh Armenian assurances that they remained committed to a peaceful settlement of the conflict and, specifically, that they had no intention of taking Agdam.
It also belies their statement to me that their forces in the Agdam region had no intention of advancing any further and, therefore, had surrounded themselves with minefields that could not be removed (hence their refusal to let my mission travel along the Agdam-Stepanakert road, as we had requested).
Nor can the taking of Agdam be excused on grounds of self-defence: I myself had visited the place and, from what my mission and I have seen, I consider that the military situation was such that Agdam posed no serious military threat to Nagorny Karabakh.
