Kusapat (; ) or Chiragly () is a village in the Aghdara District of Azerbaijan, in the region of Nagorno-Karabakh. Until 2023 it was controlled by the breakaway Republic of Artsakh. The village had an ethnic Armenian-majority population until the expulsion of the Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh by Azerbaijan following the 2023 Azerbaijani offensive in Nagorno-Karabakh.
== Etymology == There are different accounts with regard to the origin of the name "Kusapat". In one account the village takes its name from the Armenian word "Kisapat" () meaning "half wall" or "semi-walled", which has its origin in a story of a devout bricklayer building a church in the village, but after finding out that its inhabitants intended to pay him for his work, he left, leaving the church half-built. In another account, the village takes its name from a convent named "Kuysapat" near the village.
