Sheylanli (Azerbaijani: Şeylanlı) is a village in the Lachin district of Azerbaijan. Since May 17, 1992 the village together with Lachin district have been under control of the Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Army[1] and serves as part of the crucial Lachin corridor that connects Armenia with the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.
Geography
The village is located on the Lesser Caucasus mountains, more precisely, in the north part of the Lachin district and the west side of Hakari River (almost in the source) 330 km from Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan Republic. [2]
History
The name of the village is related to the name of a tribe, Sheylan, which had lived in the area until the Nagorno-Karabakh war. After establishment of the USSR in official documents the area was named as Sheylanli village. Sharafnameh, by Sherefxan Bidlisi, and other sources tell us that Shah Abbas I of Iran moved 24 Kurdish tribes from Qaradagh region of Iran to Karabakh and Zangezur in order to fortify the borders of the Safavid Empire.[3][4] Kurdish historian and writer Shamil Askerov (in Azerbaijan) and other sources[5] show that Sheylan tribe is one of those 24 tribes that were moved to Karabakh in 1586. After area occupied by Armenian Military forces inhabitants of the village forced to move and resettle in Takhta Korpu which used to be winter pastures of Lachin in Aghjabadi district during the USSR.
Sheylanli was surrounded by several historical, cultural and architectural monuments as well, such as an arch bridge on Hakari River.[6]
