Abbasabad

Azerbaijan, Azerbaijan

---

Abbasabad in Azerbaijan is a small village and municipality in the Yardımlı District, located in the southern mountainous part of the country about 220 kilometers southwest of Baku.

It has a population of around 596 people and, as a municipality, includes the villages of Abbasabad itself plus the nearby village of Solqard. The area is known for its rural, hilly landscape typical of southern Azerbaijan, with traditional village life and agricultural activity rather than major historical monuments or tourist sites, and it is often mentioned in geographic and administrative lists of Azerbaijan’s settlements rather than as a notable heritage destination.

The name “Abbasabad” is Persian in origin, meaning “founded by Abbas,” and is common in both Azerbaijan and Iran, which is why there are many places with the same name in the region, but the specific Abbasabad in Azerbaijan is the one in Yardımlı with the small population and municipal status described above.
