Zəngilan ((listen), Template:Lang-hy) is a town and centre of the Zangilan Rayon of Azerbaijan.

History

Soviet rule

Being part of Azerbaijan SSR, the village was known as Pirchivan until 1957. According to data of 1933, population of the village was 574, of which 98.7% were Azerbaijanis. In 31 August, 1957, the village was renamed to Zangilan. It was given the status of a town in 1967.

According to 1979 Soviet census, 5,012 people lived in the town, of which 96.1% were Azerbaijanis and 3.6% Russians or Ukrainians. Population rose to 6,968 in 1989.

Artsakh administration

The town was controlled by ethnic Armenian forces during the Nagorno-Karabakh War on 29 August 1993 and was administered as part of Kashatagh Region by the de facto independent Republic of Artsakh. All the Azerbaijani inhabitants of the city were forcefully driven out. During the occupation, the town was renamed to Kovsakan. As of 2005, the population of the town was less than 400.

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.

Recapture

Within the context of the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, on the 20th of October 2020, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev announced that Zangilan had been recaptured by the Azerbaijani army. Azerbaijani Ministry of Defence released video from Zangilan shortly after the announcement and the location of the video was confirmed by third-party sources.
