Qaraqoyunlu District (Gazetteer of Persia, 1914)


Qaraqoyunlu District




KARAQŪINLŪ―
The name given to the western portion of the Aras valley in Azarbaijan. It is only a small district and extends from the river to the north of the Maku mountains. The country is uninteresting, though it possesses some fine villages, such as Sufi, Karazamin, etc. There are numerous tracts traversable by mules and camels between villages. The two principal ones are from Sufi by Pirnak to Shah Takht and from Sufi by Kara Yakh to Zakirlu.―(Picot, 1894)
