History
Seysulan was located in the Mardakert district of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast (Azerbaijan SSR) before 1991 when Azerbaijan dissolved the NKAO and Seysulan became part of the Tartar District. The village came under the control of ethnic Armenian forces during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War in the early 1990s.
Azerbaijan claimed to have attacked and retaken the village during clashes on 4 April 2016,[2] but the Artsakh Defence Army disputed this claim as disinformation.[3]
