It is historically significant as the site of the Battle of Azaz between the Crusader States and the Seljuk Turks on June 11, 1125. It is close to a Syria–Turkey border crossing, which enters Turkey at Öncüpınar, south of the city of Kilis. During the Syrian civil war, Azaz was included from 2016 in the Turkish occupation zones, becoming the capital of the opposition's Syrian Interim Government.
