Martiros (Armenian: Մարտիրոս) is a village in the Vayk Municipality of the Vayots Dzor Province of Armenia. There is a newer and an older section to the village.
A huge khachkar in the older section of the village attests that the settlement was founded in 1283 at the command of Prince Prosh and his son Paron Hasan.[2]
