Xanlıq (Khanlyg; Azerbaijani pronunciation: [xɑnˈlɯx]) is a village in the Qubadli District of Azerbaijan.
[2] According to the 1912 "Caucasian Calendar", the village of Khanlyg was home to 797 people, the majority of whom were Azerbaijanis (classified as "Tatars" in the census).
[3] Khanlyg was part of the village council of the same name in the Zangilan District of the Azerbaijan SSR during the early Soviet period in 1933.
It was later incorporated into the breakaway Republic of Artsakh as part of its Kashatagh Province, where it was known as Ishkhanadzor (Armenian: Իշխանաձոր).
According to Artur Aghabekyan, Deputy Prime Minister of Artsakh, the village of Xanlıq was purposefully chosen for settlement because it is at the crossroads of roads leading north to Lachin, east to Hadrut, and west to Armenia.
