Jabrayil (Azerbaijani: Cəbrayıl ) is a city in Azerbaijan and capital of the Jabrayil Rayon. It was captured on 23 August 1993 by the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh until it was recaptured by Azerbaijan on 9 October 2020.[2]
Etymology
The name of Jabrayil was taken from the name of the village Jabrayil that was the centre of the region. Father Jabrayil, who was the founder of the village Jabrayil, was one of the closes of the ruler by name Sultan Ahmed who lived in VIII century and the territories between Zuyaret Mountain and the river Araz belonged to Father Jabrayil and his sons.[3]
History
Jabrail was made part of Dzhebrail Uyezd of the Russian Empire in 1868. According to the census held in 1897, the population of the Uyezd was 66,360, of which 49,189 were Turko-Tatars (nowadays known as Azerbaijanis), 15,746 were Armenians, 398 were Kurds, 893 were Russians and other minorities.[4] Cəbrayıl itself, was a village with a population of 520, of which 228 were Armenians, 186 were Turko-Tatars (Azerbaijanis), and 76 were Russians.[5] According to a Soviet census from 1926, the population rose to 75,371 with of which 71,725 were Turks (nowadays Azerbaijanis), 1,089 were Russians, 625 were Armenians and 520 were Persians.[6] The city was occupied on 23 August 1993 by the self declared Republic of Artsakh, and remained a ghost town since its occupation.[7] It was renamed as Jrakan (Ջաբրայիլ) during the Armenian occupation.
2020 Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
On 4 October 2020, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev announced that the Azerbaijani Armed Forces had taken control of the city,[8] however, Shushan Stepanyan, the Press Secretary of the Minister of Defence of Armenia denied this.[9] On 5 October, the President of the self-proclaimed Artsakh Arayik Harutyunyan claimed that he had visited the city.[10] However on 9 October 2020, the Azerbaijani army raised the flag of Azerbaijan in the centre of the city.[11]
