Ərdəşəvi is a village in the Lachin District of Azerbaijan.
The village 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. The village subsequently became part of the breakaway Republic of Artsakh as part of its Kashatagh Province, referred to as Artashavi (Armenian: Արտաշավի). It was returned to Azerbaijan as part of the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh ceasefire agreement.
Historical heritage sites in and around the village include the historical village of Malkhalap (Armenian: Մալխալափ, also Malkhalaf) with a ruined medieval bridge nearby,[2] a stele from 1221, a 13th-century khachkar, a khachkar from 1481, a tombstone from 1575, and two 17th-century khachkars.[1]
The village had 88 inhabitants in 2005,[3] and 127 inhabitants in 2015.[1]
