’ABBASABiLD (1) —Elev. 1,900'.
Known as Izadabad before the time of ’Abb’s M rzh.
A deserted walled town standing high on the left bank of the Aras
the direct and easiest line of communication between the rich valley of
Nakhjivan and Khoi. It was once a flourishing town and owed its pros
penty to Armenian enterprise to whose energy and art its cut-stone
church and ruined embankment yet testify. Before the Russian war in
the early part of the 19th century, the banks were connected by a bridge of
boats. After the war the opening of roads to Julfa and Shah Takht as main
lines of communication, soon caused the place to be deserted. Parallel t
the river on the Persian side is a low line of earthworks, about 200 or 300
yards long, relics of the time of ’Abbas Mirza. The country is barren and
salt. A semicircular piece o land (radius 3| versts or 4,083 yards) on IL
right bank of the Aras opposite ’Abbasabad, became Russian territorv in
virtue of the Turkmanchai treaty (1828), but was restored to Persia
together with the village Hisar on the Khorasan—Trans-Caspian frontier in
