Noragyugh (Armenian: Նորագյուղ) or Tazabine (Azerbaijani: Təzəbinə) is a village in the Khojaly District of Azerbaijan. Prior to the 2023 Azerbaijani offensive, it was de facto controlled by the Republic of Artsakh.[2] The village has an ethnic Armenian-majority population, and also had an Armenian majority in 1989.[3]
History[edit]
The modern village was founded in 1966 by settlers from the nearby village of Hin Noragyugh (Armenian: Հին Նորագյուղ, lit. 'Old Noragyugh'), which was founded in the early 1800s.[4]
During the Soviet period, the village was a part of the Askeran District of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast.
