Gülablı (Gulably) or Abdal-Gülablı (Abdal-Gulably)[2] is a village in the Agdam District of Azerbaijan.
History[]
The village was located in the Armenian-occupied territories surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh, coming under the control of ethnic Armenian forces on 4 September 1992 during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War.
The village subsequently became part of the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh as part of its Martuni Province, referred to as Vazgenashen (Armenian: Վազգենաշեն). Its population as of 2005 was 226.[3]
It was returned to Azerbaijan on 20 November 2020 as part of the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh ceasefire agreement.
Drone shootdown[]
On September 12, 2011, an UAV was reportedly shot down by the air defense arm of the Artsakh Defence Army near the village.[4] Preliminary investigations carried out determined that the model was a Hermes 450 type.[5]
The Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense initially denied losing any drones. But several days later the state news agency APA, citing a Turkish tabloid newspaper, came out with an elaborate explanation that the UAV was supposedly operated by Israel and making reconnaissance flights from Armenia to spy on Iran.[6]
