Maragha (Armenian: Մարաղա; Azerbaijani: Marağa, also Maraga) or Shikharkh (Azerbaijani: Şıxarx), formerly known as Leninavan (between 1954–1992), is a town in the Aghdara District of Azerbaijan, in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh.

The town had an ethnic Armenian-majority population in 1989, which had the status of a village at the time.

[1] The town was the site of a large massacre of ethnic Armenians by Azerbaijani forces during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War.

During the Soviet period, the village was a part of the Mardakert District of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast.

On 10 April 1992, during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War, the village, known as Leninavan by then, was the scene of a massacre of ethnic Armenians by Azerbaijani forces,[2] which has been described as an act of revenge after the Khojaly Massacre.
