History[]

Church Saint Martyrs of Aghavno

First Nagorno-Karabakh war[]

The village was seized by the Armenian Armed Forces in 1992.[2]

Armenian occupation[]

From 1992, the village was administrated by the Republic of Artsakh as its Kashatagh Province. The Artsakh administration renovated the town, settled in part by Lebanese-Armenians.[2][3] The village had 149 inhabitants in 2005,[4] and 175 inhabitants in 2015.[5]

2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war[]

Ahead of the transfer of Lachin District to Azerbaijan, following the ceasefire agreement ending the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, some ethnic Armenians fled from the region,[3] despite the Russian supervision over the land corridor passing thorough it.[6] The Russian peacekeepers also set up a post in Aghavno.[3] From 27 November, citing the city's mayor, Narek Aleksanyan, who called on the ethnic Armenian population to flee the region, the Armenian media alleged that "the agreement has been amended," adding that Aghavno, as well as Lachin, the district's administrative center, and Sus, would not be handed over to Azerbaijan. These claims were refuted by the chairman of the Azerbaijan-based Center for Social Research, MP Zahid Oruj. According to BBC Russian Service correspondent, Yuri Vekdik, despite Aleksanyan's calls, the vast majority of Lebanese-Armenians inhabitants in Aghavno had fled the town.[7] On 1 December, the Azerbaijani forces, with tanks and a column of trucks, entered the Lachin district, and passed through the Lachin corridor.[8]

Following the ceasefire, around 200 Armenians remained in the Lachin corridor, with around 40 of them being in Aghavno.[1]
