Karkar) River was renamed Khankendi in 1847. Selected capital of Nagorno-Karabakh after the destruction of Shusha, it was renamed Stepanakert in 1923 after the Armenian Bolshevik, Stepan Shaumyan (Step'annos Shahumyan), and, growing rapidly, was elevated to the rank of a city in 1940.</blockquote></ref><ref name="The Caucasian knot">Levon Chorbajian, Patrick Donabédian, Claude Mutafian.
