Khachin (Khachen) was a medieval semi-independent Caucasian Albanian principality ^[1], part of historical Artsakh (present-day Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan). It was founded in the 10th century A.D. by Sahl ibn-Sunbat, a descendant of ancient kings of Caucasian Albania ^[2], who assisted in the capture of Babak Khorramdin by the Abbasid Caliphate. Some of the contemporary chroniclers used the name of Khachen to designate the whole of Artsakh. In the 17-th century, the residence of Meliks (Princes) of Khachen was in Khndzristan, a village in present-day Askeran region of Nagorno-Karabakh in Azerbaijan.
