Hovk (Armenian: Հովք; Azerbaijani: Haqqıxlı, anglicized: Haggikhly) is a village in the Dilijan Municipality of the Tavush Province in Armenia. The village was populated by Azerbaijanis before the exodus of Azerbaijanis from Armenia after the outbreak of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. In 1988-1989 Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan settled in the village;^[2] refugees from Getashen, the villages of Shamkhor as well as from Martunashen resettled in the village.^[3]
