Jebrail is a region in southwestern Azerbaijan, located along the Kura River near the border with Armenia. The region has historically been dominated by agriculture and animal husbandry, and has a mild climate with a hilly and plain topography. Part of the Azerbaijan SSR during the Soviet period, Jebrail came under Armenian control in 1993 during the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, resulting in the displacement of a large number of inhabitants.
In 2020, Azerbaijan recovered Jebrail in the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War and is currently engaged in the reconstruction of infrastructure and the return of its inhabitants. The region is strategically located, connecting Azerbaijan proper with the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic. Economically, Jebrail is known for its agricultural potential and may develop into a transportation hub and tourist spot in the future. Its cultural heritage includes historical mosques and ancient sites, but war has caused much damage.
Located in Transcaucasia, Jebrail has a continental climate with dry, hot summers and cold winters. Traditionally, the region has been dominated by the Azerbaijani ethnic group, and the culture is a blend of Turkic and Islamic features. Despite the far-reaching effects of the war, the Azerbaijani government is promoting a renaissance program aimed at revitalizing its economy and culture.
