Madagiz or Suqovuşan (Template:Lang-az; Template:Lang-hy), is a village in the Tartar District of Azerbaijan.

It is located 30 kilometers north-west of the left bank of the river Tartar. There is a secondary school in the village. To the west of the village lies the Suqovuşan reservoir, which was created to supply water to the Tatar, Goranboy, and Yevlakh Districts of Azerbaijan.

The village was under the control of the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh between 10 April 1994 and 3 October 2020.

History

In 1943, the village was given the status of an urban-type settlement within the Mardakert District of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast. In 1949, the village was home to an industrial complex, including a furniture factory and a lime production workshop. In 1953, a secondary school was opened. The Madagiz hydroelectric power station was built nearby on the banks of the Tartar River.

In the early 1990s, Madagiz found itself within the territory of the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh, and consequently was affected by hostilities between the Armed Forces of Armenia and the Azerbaijani Armed Forces. During the summer offensive of 1992, Azerbaijani troops established control over the Mardakert District, but as a result of the counter-offensive by the end of June 1993, Armenian troops managed to occupy almost the entire district.

In April 2016, during the Four-Day War, the village found itself in the area of direct hostilities. On April 4, Armenian journalists published video and photo reports from Madagiz. On April 5, the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan reported that on April 4, the headquarters of the Artsakh military base in Madagiz had been hit.

In the context of the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Azerbaijan captured the village on 3 October 2020 and renamed the village to Suqovuşan.

Demographics

In 1970, 271 people (236 Armenians, 30 Azerbaijanis, 44 Russians and nine Ukrainians) lived in the village.

In 2005, the village had a population of 404 people. According to the State Committee for Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons of Azerbaijan, as of 2020, 66 internally displaced persons from Madagiz were living in Azerbaijan.
