Myurishen (Armenian: Մյուրիշեն, also Mirushen, Միրուշեն) or Mirikend (Azerbaijani: Mirikənd) is a village in the Khojavend District of Azerbaijan, in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh. Until 2023 it was controlled by the breakaway Republic of Artsakh. The village had an ethnic Armenian-majority population[2] until the exodus of the Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh following the 2023 Azerbaijani offensive in Nagorno-Karabakh.[3]
History
[edit | edit source]During the Soviet period, the village was a part of the Martuni District of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast.
Historical heritage sites
[edit | edit source]Historical heritage sites in and around the village include a cemetery from between the 15th and 17th centuries, the church of Surb Astvatsatsin (Armenian: Սուրբ Աստվածածին, lit. 'Holy Mother of God') built in 1869, and a 19th-century watermill.[1]
Economy and culture
[edit | edit source]The population is mainly engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry. As of 2015, the village has a municipal building, a house of culture, a school, and a medical centre.[1]
Demographics
[edit | edit source]The village had 200 inhabitants in 2005,[4] and 160 inhabitants in 2015.[1] The Armenian population was expelled in 2023 after Azerbaijan's military offensive that led to the dissolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.
