Fizuli is in Karabakh. In antiquity this territory was part of the province of Artsakh; in Middle Ages it was part of Armenian princedom Khachen; at 17-18 centuries it was part of Armenian melikdom Dizak (Raffi. Melikdoms of Khamsa). The town of Fizuli was founded in 1827 as a Russian settlement Karyagino; in 1959 it was renamed to Fizuli after the poet Muhammad Fuzûlî.
