Yuxarı Ayrım (Yukhary Ayrym) is a ghost village in the Kalbajar District of Azerbaijan. The name reflects the former presence of Ayrums in the vicinity. The main core of the village crowned a knoll above the river Ayrim close to the tree line on a narrow, unpaved track leading up from Aşağı Ayrım. A video released in December 2020 shows the dilapidated state of the stone houses which remained uninhabited after the village's occupation by Armenian forces in 1993.[1]
