Qaçaq Nəbi

Gachaq Nabi (1854 – 1896) was an Azerbaijani gachaq (outlaw) from Ashaghi Mollu in the Qubadli District. He was actively involved in the Gachaq Movement in Azerbaijan during the latter half of the 19th century.

Life Gachaq Nabi was born in 1854 in the village of Ashaghi Mollu in the Zangezur District, now part of the Qubadli District. Sources vary on his ethnic background. In March 1896, while returning from Karbala, Nabi was ambushed by Russian spies in the village of Larni, situated near the border between Turkey and Iran.

Nabi was married to Hajar Khanum from Yukhari Mollu village. Both Hajar Khanum and her sister-in-law, Mehri Khanum, actively participated in the resistance alongside him.

Nabi's father, Ali, initially hired him out to a local landlord in Aşağı Mollu who sought to seize the peasants' land. Nabi opposed the landlord's actions and subsequently formed a group of local villagers to resist. They operated in the Nakhchivan and Zangezur districts, redistributing landowner property to the peasants. Hajar Khanum supported Nabi’s efforts throughout his resistance activities. On 12 March 1896, Nabi was betrayed and killed by two traitors.
