Sheylanli (Kurdish: Şeylanlî; Azerbaijani: Şeylanlı) is a village in the Lachin District of Azerbaijan.

[3][4][5][6] Sheylanli is surrounded by several historical, cultural and architectural monuments, including an arch bridge on the Hakari River.

[7] The village is located in the Lesser Caucasus mountains, in the northern part of the Lachin district on the western side of the Hakari River (almost in the river source), 330 km from Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan.

The name of the village is related to the name of the Kuridsh Sheylanli tribe, which lived in the area until the First Nagorno-Karabakh War and was referred to as Sheylanli during the Soviet period.

According to Shamil Asgarov and other sources,[8] the Sheylanli tribe is considered to be one of the 24 Kurdish tribes that were moved from Iran to Karabakh and Zangezur by Shah Abbas I of Iran in the 16th century, to fortify the borders of the Safavid Empire.
