Quşçular (also, Gushchular) is a former village in the Lachin District of Azerbaijan.
History
[edit]This village existed in the locality list of Ashaghi-Farajan Selsoviet (rural council) of Lachin District in 1963,[2] but did not exist in the same list of 1968.[3] Currently this locality also does not exist in the locality list of Lachin District.[4] It may mean that this village was abolished between 1963 and 1968.
This locality was located in the Armenian-occupied territories surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh, coming under the control of ethnic Armenian forces during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War in the early 1990s, subsequently becoming part of the breakaway Republic of Artsakh as part of its Kashatagh Province, where it was known as Aghavnatun (Armenian: Աղավնատուն).[5] The locality was returned to Azerbaijan as part of the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh ceasefire agreement.[6]
Historical heritage sites
[edit]Historical heritage sites in and around the village include three 14th/15th-century khachkars, a 15th/16th-century khachkar, and the 15th/16th-century St. Stephen's Church (Armenian: Սուրբ Ստեփանոս եկեղեցի, romanized: Surb Stepanos Yekeghetsi) in the neighboring village of Harar.[1][7]
