Zangezursky Uyezd [SEP] dissolved or abolished
Zangezursky Uyezd
Zangezursky Uyezd () was one of the "uyezds" (administrative units) of Elisabethpol Governorate of the Russian Empire with its center in Goris from 1868 until its formal abolition in 1921 by Soviet authorities.
After the establishment of the Soviet rule over the Southern Caucasus, the uyezd's territory was divided between Soviet Armenia and Soviet Azerbaijan: Armenia acquired the predominantly Armenian-populated Sisian, Goris, Kapan, and Meghri districts and Azerbaijan took Lachin, Kubately, and Zangelan, where the population was mostly Muslim
, Novobayazetsky, and Ordubadsky Uyezds. The Ordubadsky Uyezd was abolished and incorporated into the Nakhichevansky Uyezd and the Zangezursky Uyezd of the Elisabethpol Governorate in 1868. Following administrative reforms, the northern part of the Nakhchivansky Uyezd (Daralagyoz) was separated to form part of the new Sharur-Daralagezsky Uyezd in 1870. In 1918-1920, the uyezd was disputed between the First Republic of Armenia and the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic. After the establishment of Soviet rule, most of the uyezd became part of the Nakhichevan ASSR of the Azerbaijan SSR
