“There are many historical monuments in Zengilan reflected national
culture of Azerbaijan people. Many
historical events reflected the life of
Azerbaijan people took place in Zengilan. A lot of
respectable people lived and created in Zengilan during the past
ages. So, Zengilan is valuable for
Azerbaijan, because of either its nature or its respectable
and creative people.”
National leader Heidar Aliyev |
 The
territory of Zengilan is considered one of the oldest places, where
the people lived. Some caves existed in this area inform us about
primitive men lived here. But as a region it was founded in 1930.
The area of the region is 707 km2, but the population is 35.351.
There was
one town, one settlement like a town, one settlement and 81 villages
in this region. The centre is Zengilan.
The
end of XX century is known as a period full of tragedies in the
history of Azerbaijan. Zengilan was also the victim of betrayal as
other regions of Azerbaijan. It was
on October 29, 1993.In actual situation the occupation was realized
in 1992. In 1993 Armenians’ attacks became intensified.
The enemy moved in 3 directions:
1. In the direction of Mehri. By this way they could get the hills
and seize the villages of Vejneli and Agbend.
2. In the direction of Gafan. They occupied the villages of Burunlu,
Shayifli and Goyeli.
3. They moved through the occupied regions of Gubadli and captured
Saldash, Chereli, Mollali, Qiyasli, Ulashli, Abilce, Qarakishi,
Tinli, Xocahan, the Agbiz villages and the Agbiz hills.
Nearly 34 thousand people gathered together on bank of the Araz –on
the border of Iran. It was
impossible to cross the tumultuous river. The liberator of our
people Heydar Aliyev helped to the people again. He had a
conversation with Iran government and they built a dam over the Araz.
So the people could escape, thanks to our leader.
