Fuzuli

Especially in spring, when flowers bloomed, grasses rose from the meadows, carpets were woven from tulips on the slopes of the mountains between the city of Fuzuli and the village of Horadiz. 

Fuzuli covers the sloping plains and lowlands from the south-eastern foothills of the Karabakh mountain range to the Araz River. It borders Iran along the Araz River and Jabrayil, Khojavend, Agjabadi, Beylagan regions. Fuzuli region is also known for its millennia-old Azykh Cave, Guruchay culture, historical and architectural monuments. At different times in the territory of the Fuzuli region, researches were carried out in Garakopektepe, Garabulag mounds, Gunashtapa, Guruchay shores, and other places, thus proving that Azerbaijan has ancient roots.

The bones of the lower jaw of a pre-Neanderthal-Azykhantrop man were discovered by the archaeologist-scientist Mammadali Huseynov in the summer of 1968 in the Azykh cave, 15 km from the district center. This monument, which is a great achievement of Azerbaijani archeological science, revealed the existence of the ancient Paleolithic period in the Fuzuli region of Karabakh.
