Aşağı Əskipara (also, Ashagy Aksinara, Ashagy Askipara, Ashagy Eskipara, Нижняя Аскипара ("Nizhnyaya Askepara", Russian), Ներքին Ոսկեպար ("Nerkin Voskepar", Armenian) – all meaning "Lower Askipara") is an abandoned village in the Qazakh Rayon of Azerbaijan. It is located along the border in territory occupied by Armenia since the Nagorno-Karabakh War. Nearby Voskepar is located in Armenia proper and Yuxarı Əskipara (Armenian: Վերին Ոսկեպար, Verin Voskepar) is in what is officially an exclave of Azerbaijan within Armenia, but which territory is controlled by Armenia.
Five Azerbaijani Armed Forces soldiers were killed in a conflict near the de facto border in May 2012.[1]
