==Etymology== The meaning of the name of the Kulus is related with the Kol one of the arms of the Sakas and Uz one of the arms of the Kipchaks-Pechenegs-Oghuz which had great migration to the Caucasus in the I Millennium BC. In the 1st-5th centuries the Albanians, in the Middle Ages the Seleykə one of the arms of the Turkic-Kengerli tribe were settled down in this ancient Turkish land and were mixed with the local Turks. Some researchers assumed that the name was created with the word of kuhul (cave).
