Bilasuvar (Azerbaijani:Biləsuvar) is a city in and the capital of theBilasuvar District ofAzerbaijan. The area's considerable agricultural potential depends on irrigation.[1] It is situated near one of the country's four border crossings withIran.
It has been said that the city's name was called "Pileh-Swar", which meant ‘Elephant-riding Person’ in Persian language, a reference to an early emir.[2] In Azerbaijani the name means ‘Pure Waterfalls‘.[2]
The city is located in the Central Aran region. Biləsuvar was divided into two parts in 1828 with theTurkmanchay Treaty betweenQajar Iran and theRussian Empire, which concluded theRusso-Persian War (1826–1828). The similarly-named Iranian city ofBileh Savar is located right across the border.
