Artanish (Armenian: Արտանիշ; Azerbaijani: Ardanış, anglicized: Ardanysh) is a village in the Gegharkunik Province of Armenia. The village was populated by Azerbaijanis before the exodus of Azerbaijanis from Armenia after the outbreak of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.^[2] In 1988-1989 Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan settled in the village.^[2] On a hill just to the west are the ruins of cyclopean fortresses, and nearby is a church and a cemetery.^[3]

Nature[]

The vicinity of the village hosts 111 species of butterflies and is recognized as the Prime Butterfly Area "Artanish-Shorzha".^[4] The area is also known as one of the key birdwatching sites of Armenia.^[5]
