History

Refugee life style for Sheylanlis in Takhta Korpu Lachin winter pastures-2007[citation needed]

The name of the village is related to the name of the Sheylanli tribe, which had lived in the area until the Nagorno-Karabakh war. After establishment of the USSR in official documents the area was named as Sheylanli village. Sharafnameh, by Sherefxan Bidlisi, and other sources tell us that Shah Abbas I of Iran moved 24 Kurdish tribes from Qaradagh region of Iran to Karabakh and Zangezur in order to fortify the borders of the Safavid Empire.[8][dubious ][9][dubious ] Kurdish historian and writer Shamil Askerov (in Azerbaijan) and other sources[10][dubious ] show that Sheylan tribe is one of those 24 tribes that were moved to Karabakh in 1586. After the area occupied by the Armenian Military forces inhabitants of the village resettled in Takhta Korpu which used to be winter pastures of Lachin in Aghjabadi district during the USSR.[citation needed]
Sheylanli was surrounded by several historical, cultural and architectural monuments as well, such as an arch bridge on Hakari River[11][dubious ][12][dubious ].
