The community of Drakhtadzor included the village of Ani, and the Drakhtadzor community had a population of 78 in 2005, with 44 in Drakhtadzor and 34 in Ani,[1] and the Drakhtadzor community had a population of 62 in 2015.[2] The village was returned to Azerbaijan as part of the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh ceasefire agreement.
