Guide to Karabagh Rugs and Carpets
The Duchy of Jraberd
Historically the Armenians of Karabagh
were governed by principalities or duchies. The Five
Duchies were Khachen, Jraberd, Varanda, Dizak and
Golestan. Jrebard, Chondzoresk, and Kasim Ushak
(Kazanbulak) are historically Armenian towns in the
Northern Duchy of Jraberd in Karabagh. In a fascinating
political system there were Armenian Princes or as we say
in modern times Governors even while Karabagh was a
Moslem governed Khanate. At times these Armenian rulers
had so much autonomy they were virtually independent and
at other times they were merely a buffer between their
people and other leaders.
The essence to this is control and for
the Armenians it was very much like the Kizil Bash system
for the Azeri. People were controlled by leaders of their
own type.
