Excerpt: Zar (Armenian: , Tsar, also spelled Tzar or Car, Armenian pronunciation: ) is a village in the Kalbajar Rayon of Azerbaijan, currently under the control of the unrecognized Nagorno Karabakh Republic. Armenian architectural historian Samvel Karapetyan has written that name Zar is the Turkish pronunciation of the settlement's Armenian name Tsar which, due to its size, was still being referred to as Metzn Tzar (Great Tzar) as late as the eighteenth century. A popular Azeri legend gives an alternative origin. A poor young man named Zasa once lived in this village. He was in love with a girl named Nasy whose parents did not approve of their relationship. Zasa then decided to ask Nadir Shah for help. He planted a watermelon in a jar with a narrow neck. The surprised shah liked it and ordered Nasy to be given to Zasa. However, as soon as Nadir Shah left town, Nasy's family went to Zasa's house, killed him and threw his body into a well. After that, Zasa's mother wept for many days. The name Zar was said to have be derived from this legend because the Azerbaijani word zar ldamaq (zaryldamag) translates as "to sob." Zar's history goes back to the early medieval period, when it was the administrative center of the Artsakh province's canton of Tsar (which, until the eleventh to twelfth centuries, went by the name of Vaykunik'). In the fourteenth century, the Armenian Dop'ian family established themselves in Tsar and remained there until their fortresses were devastated by the invasions of Tamerlane. But the Armenian lords were able to recover by the fifteenth century, when Tsar was made the center for the Armenian meliks...
