Reyhanli is a village in the Iravan uezd of Iravan governorate, later in the former Zangibasar (Masis) district, and currently in the Ararat province.

The village was inhabited by Azerbaijanis only: 80 in 1832, 277 in 1873, 308 in 1886, 405 in 1905 and 599 Azerbaijanis in 1914. In 1918, like other villages in Zangibasar district, the Reyhanli village was also exposed to   aggression   by   Armenians, was destroyed, looted and burnt. Part of the population were killed by Armenians, and the survivors were expelled. The inhabitants, who had the opportunity to return to the village during the first years of Soviet rule, rebuilt it. The village was inhabited by 133 Azerbaijanis in 1931. According to the decision of the USSR Council of Ministers “On the resettlement of collective farmers and other Azerbaijani population from the Armenian SSR to the Kur-Araz lowland of the Azerbaijan SSR” dated 23 December 1947, the population of the village Reyhanli were loaded onto freight cars at the Ulukhanli station and deported to Azerbaijan in 1950. After I.Stalin’s death in 1953, part of the population returned to the village. However, at that time Reyhanli was abolished as a village, even though the inhabitants lived in that village, they were considered to be residents of the Habilkand (Kalinin) settlement. The subsequent fate of the villagers resulted in genocide in 1988, when they were again forcibly expelled from their ancestral lands.
