Chanakhchi (Armenian: Չանախչի; Azerbaijani: Çanaqçı) or Avetaranots (Armenian: Ավետարանոց) is a village in the Khojaly District of Azerbaijan, in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh. The village had an ethnic Armenian-majority population prior to the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, and also had an Armenian majority in 1989.[2]

History[]

During the Soviet period, the village was a part of the Askeran District of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast.

The village was administrated by the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh as part of its Askeran Province after the First Nagorno-Karabakh War. The village was captured by Azerbaijani forces on 9 November 2020, during the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war.[3]
