Varanda

Varanda was one of the five Armenian melikdoms of Karabakh, known as the Khamsa, in the south-east of the region. It was ruled by the Shahnazarian family, whose Melik Shahnazar II allied with Panah Ali Khan in the 1750s and helped him establish the Karabakh Khanate and its fortress of Shusha.
