Noragyugh (hy|Նորագյուղ) or Tazabine (az|Təzəbinə) is a village in the Khojaly District of Azerbaijan, in the region of Nagorno-Karabakh. Until 2023 it was controlled by the breakaway Republic of Artsakh. The village had an ethnic Armenian-majority population[2] until the exodus of the Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh following the 2023 Azerbaijani offensive in Nagorno-Karabakh.[3]
The modern village was founded in 1966 by settlers from the nearby village of Hin Noragyugh (hy|Հին Նորագյուղ,), which was founded in the early 1800s.[4]
During the Soviet period, the village was a part of the Askeran District of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast.
Historical heritage sites in and around the village include a 12th/13th-century khachkar, the shrine of Sare Khach (hy|Սարե Խաչ) from between the 12th and 20th centuries, St. George's Church (hy|Սուրբ Գևորգ եկեղեցի|Surb Gevorg Yekeghetsi) built in 1810, a 19th/20th-century cemetery, and a 19th-century spring monument.[1]
The population is mainly engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry. As of 2015, the village has a municipal building, a house of culture, a secondary school, a music school, five shops and a medical centre. The Noragyugh branch of the Askeran Children's Music School is also located in the village.[1]
The village had 1,396 inhabitants in 2005,[5] and 1,517 inhabitants in 2015.[1]
