The Agulis massacre (Armenian: Ագուլիսի ջարդեր) was a massacre of the Armenian population of Agulis (modern-day Yuxarı Əylis) by Azerbaijani state authorities and Azeri locals from Ordubad and refugees from Zangezur as part of the Muslim uprisings in Kars and Sharur–Nakhichevan against the First Republic of Armenia. The attack, lasting from December 24 to December 25, 1919, resulted in the destruction of the town of Agulis.
