Fizuli
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fizuli (Füzuli) is a rayon of Azerbaijan (in Karabakh). In antiquity this territory was a part of the province of Artsakh; in Middle Ages - a part of Armenian princedom Khachen; at 17-18 centuries - a part of Armenian melikdom Dizak (Raffi. Melikdoms of Khamsa). The town of Fizuli was founded in 1827 as a Russian settlement Karyagino; in 1959 it was renamed to Fizuli after the poet Muhammad Fuzûlî.[1] Part of this region is now under the occupation of Armenian separatists from Nagorno-Karabakh, who have named it Varanda (Armenian: Վարանդա).
