Hacısamlı (Hajisamly) is a village in the Lachin District of Azerbaijan.[2]
History
The village was located in the Armenian-occupied territories surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh, coming under the control of ethnic Armenian forces during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War in the early 1990s. The village subsequently became part of the breakaway Republic of Artsakh as part of its Kashatagh Province, where it was known as Vazgenashen (Armenian: Վազգենաշեն). It was returned to Azerbaijan as part of the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh ceasefire agreement.
Historical heritage sites
Historical heritage sites in and around the village include a 15th/16th-century cemetery with khachkars, thirteen 15th/16th-century khachkars, a 15th/16th-century church, the 15th/16th-century rock-cut khachkar of Vazgenashen (Վազգենաշեն), and the 17th/18th-century bridge of Kotrats (Armenian: Կոտրած).[1]
