Turshsu (Azerbaijani: Turşsu) or Lisagor (Armenian: Լիսագոր) is a village that is in the Shusha District of Azerbaijan, in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh. The village had an Azerbaijani-majority population before they fled the fighting of the First Nagorno-Karabakh War.[2]
At least from the 12th-13th centuries, the settlements of Tsarist and Sour Water existed. The village was named Ttu jur from the famous Ttu jur spring near the settlement.
The village was founded in the beginning of the 20th century as the Russian settlement of Lysogor (Russian: Лысогор) in the Shusha Uyezd of the Elisabethpol Governorate in the Russian Empire.[3] In 1914, 36 people lived in the village, mostly Russians.[4]
During the Soviet period, the village was part of the Shusha District of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast.
The population is mainly engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry. As of 2015, the village has a municipal building, a house of culture, a secondary school, and a medical centre. The Lisagor branch of the Shushi Children's Music School is also located in the village.[1]
The village had 88 inhabitants in 2005,[5] and 130 inhabitants in 2015.[1]
