Mount Boyuk Kirs (Azerbaijani: Böyük Kirs dağı — Mount Big Kirs) is one of the highest peaks in the Karabakh Range of the Lesser Caucasus in Azerbaijan at an altitude of 2,725 metres above sea level.[1] Before the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh War, it was the highest mountain of the breakaway Republic of Arstakh.[2][3] It forms the border between the Khojavend and Shusha districts of Azerbaijan. The mountain is formed by volcanic rocks dating to the Middle Jurassic.[4]
