History

During the Russian Empire, the village of Horadiz was part of the Jebrail Uyezd of Elisabethpol Governorate. According to the "Caucasian calendar" of 1912, the village had 1,424 inhabitants, the majority of whom were Azerbaijanis, who were listed as "Tatars" in the calendar. [2]

Horadiz was designated as an urban-type settlement on 24 September 1947. [3] It had a population of 5,689 people according to the 1989 Soviet census.

During the First Nagorno-Karabakh War, the village was the scene of fierce fighting. On 24 October 1993, the village was captured by Armenian forces, which was condemned by UN Security Council Resolution No. 884 of 12 November 1993 and labelled as an occupation. [4] On 6 January 1994, the Azerbaijani army regained control of the village in a counter-offensive. [5] On 23 October 2007, Horadiz was granted city status. [6]

[7]
