Seysulan
Seysulan (Սեյսուլան) is a village de facto in the Martakert Province of the breakaway Republic of Artsakh, de jure in the Tartar District of Azerbaijan, in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh. The village is on the ceasefire line between the armed forces of Artsakh and Azerbaijan. The village had an ethnic Armenian-majority population in 1989.
Seysulan was located in the Mardakert District of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast (Azerbaijan SSR) during the Soviet period. In 1991 the Azerbaijani government dissolved the NKAO and placed Seysulan in the Tartar District. The village came under the control of ethnic Armenian forces during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War in the early 1990s.
Azerbaijan claimed to have attacked and retaken the village during clashes on 4 April 2016, but the Artsakh Defence Army disputed this claim as disinformation.

In 1920, the country was incorporated into the Soviet Union as the Azerbaijan SSR.

In September 1991, the ethnic Armenian majority of the Nagorno-Karabakh region formed the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh. The region and seven surrounding districts are internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan pending a solution to the status of the Nagorno-Karabakh through negotiations facilitated by the OSCE, although became de facto independent with the end of the First Nagorno-Karabakh War in 1994. Following the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War in 2020, the seven districts and parts of Nagorno-Karabakh were returned to Azerbaijani control.
