Noragyugh (Armenian: Նորագյուղ) or Tazabine (Azerbaijani: Təzəbinə) is a village in the Khojaly District of Azerbaijan, in the region of Nagorno-Karabakh. Until 2023 it was controlled by the breakaway Republic of Artsakh. The village had an ethnic Armenian-majority population[2] until the exodus of the Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh following the 2023 Azerbaijani offensive in Nagorno-Karabakh.[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.
