Güləbird (Gulabird) or Tsaghkaberd (Armenian: Ծաղկաբերդ, lit. 'castle of flowers') is a village in the Lachin District of Azerbaijan.

History

Gulabird, then called Kulaberd in Armenian (Armenian: Կուլաբերդ), was the easternmost fortification of the Armenian Principality of Kapan (1722-1730) formed by the commander Davit Bek following the Syunik Rebellion, it is also where the modern-day village gets its name.

The village was located in the Armenian-occupied territories surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh, coming under the control of ethnic Armenian forces in August 1993 during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War. The village subsequently became part of the breakaway Republic of Artsakh as part of its Kashatagh Province, referred to as Tsaghkaberd (Armenian: Ծաղկաբերդ, lit. 'castle of flowers'). It was seized by Azerbaijan on 9 November 2020 during the Lachin offensive in the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war.

Economy

After returning to Azerbaijan control, the Gulabird hydroelectric power plant was declared reopened in 2021. It is a small 8 MW power plant.
