Artanish
Artanish (Armenian: Արտանիշ; Azerbaijani: Ardanış) is a village in the Shoghakat Municipality of 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. In 1988-1989 Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan settled in the village. On a hill just to the west are the ruins of cyclopean fortresses, and nearby is a church and a cemetery.
