Arakül (Armenian: Առաքել Arakel) is a village in the Khojavend Rayon of Azerbaijan and Hadrut Province of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. During the Nagorno-Karabakh War, the village was occupied by the Armenian Army in 1993.
Etymology
According to legend, Arakel is named so because Thaddeus, the patron saint of the Armenian Apostolic Church, stayed here whilst preaching to the Armenians.
