Zəngilan (, is a town and centre of the Zangilan Rayon of Azerbaijan.
History
The city was occupied by ethnic Armenian forces during the Nagorno-Karabakh War and was administered as part of Kashatagh Region by the de facto independent Republic of Artsakh.
Since the outbreak of the Syrian Civil War, a growing number of Armenian refugees from Syria had chosen to settle in this town, many of them farmers.[2][3][4]
Within the context of the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, on the 20th of October 2020, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev announced that Zangilan had been captured by Azerbaijani forces.[5] Azerbaijani Ministry of Defence released video from Zangilan shortly after the announcement and the location of the video was confirmed by third-party sources.[6][7][8]
