Beylik (Azerbaijani: Bəylik) is a village in the Zabukh village administrative territorial district of Lachin District, Azerbaijan.[2] It forms part of the Zabukh rural administrative unit, whose administrative centre is the village of Zabukh.[3][4]

Geography

Beylik lies in the mountainous part of Lachin District. Together with Zabukh, Gizilja and Sus, it is included in the Zabukh rural administrative-territorial district.[3][4]

History

1990s–2020

During the First Nagorno-Karabakh War, Lachin District came under Armenian control in 1992.[5] In Azerbaijani legislation, Beylik was officially registered as a settlement by a law adopted on 5 October 1999.[6]

Following the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war and the trilateral ceasefire statement of 9–10 November 2020, Lachin District was returned to Azerbaijan on 1 December 2020.[5] In August 2022, Azerbaijan also regained control over the areas around the town of Lachin and the villages of Zabukh and Sus.[5]

Reconstruction and resettlement (2025)

After reconstruction, Beylik was inaugurated on 27 May 2025 with the participation of President Ilham Aliyev.[7][8] Official information released at the opening stated that the village territory covered about 29.6 hectares and that 91 private houses had been built as part of the project.[7]

Resettlement of former internally displaced residents began in late May 2025. Reports described staged arrivals (including groups on 29 May and 31 May), and by 31 May 2025 a total of 89 families (363 people) had reportedly been resettled in the village.[9][1][10]

Infrastructure

Beylik includes a community club/centre intended for local activities, and rooftops were equipped with solar panels as part of a green energy approach. Roads, electricity and communications lines, and gas supply were reported as provided during reconstruction.[8] A main water pipeline of about 4.36 km was also reported as constructed for the village’s water supply.[11]

Etymology

The toponym is commonly analysed as deriving from bey (a title) and the suffix -lik (denoting affiliation), with an interpretation along the lines of “a settlement belonging to the bey”.[12]
