Aşağı Ağcakənd (also, Ashagi Agchakand, Ashagy Agdzhakend, Nerkishen, Nizhniy Agdzhakend, Novo Agdzhakend, Shahoumian, Shahumyan, Shaumyan, and Shaumyanovsk) is a village in the Goranboy Rayon of Azerbaijan. The municipality consists of the villages of Aşağı Ağcakənd, Yuxarı Ağcakənd and Meşəli.
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 and idps.
