      Summary: We get four quartered Aztec diamonds by dividing an Aztec diamond region by two zigzag cuts passing its center. \textit{W. Jockusch} and \textit{J. Propp} [``Antisymmetric monotone triangles and domino tilings of quartered Aztec diamonds'' (unpublished work)] found that the number of tilings of quartered Aztec diamonds is given by simple product formulas. In this paper we present a simple proof for this result.
