Aşağı Ağcakənd (formerly Shaumyan) is a village in the Goranboy Rayon of Azerbaijan. The municipality consists of the villages of Aşağı Ağcakənd, Yuxarı Ağcakənd and Meşəli.[1]

During Soviet times Aşağı Ağcakənd was officially named Shaumian after the Bolshevik leader Stepan Shahumyan. In December 1991 with the Soviet Union imploding, Shaumian was claimed by the breakaway Nagorno-Karabakh Republic even though it had not fallen within the Soviet boundaries of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast. It became the focus for considerable fighting which reached a climax in summer 1992 when most of the area was retaken by the Azerbaijan army. Damage was severe and the population, then predominantly ethnic-Armenian, fled.

Today Aşağı Ağcakənd town remains noticeably war-damaged but has been partly re-populated by ethnic Azerbaijani refugees[2] and idps.
