Vaghuhas (Armenian: Վաղուհաս) or Gozlu (Azerbaijani: Qozlu) is a village located in the Kalbajar District of Azerbaijan, in the 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]
During the Soviet period, the village was a part of the Mardakert District of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast.
According to civilian reports, during the 2023 Azerbaijani offensive in Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijani soldiers entered the village and forcibly demanded that its entire Armenian population leave while firing their weapons in the air.[4] [5]
Historical heritage sites in and around the village include the ruins of the ancient Armenian settlement of Mayrakahag (Armenian: Մայրաքաղաք), including the Tiramayr Monastery (Armenian: Տիրամայր Վանք) built in 1183,[6] an 8th/9th-century chapel, a 12th/13th-century cemetery, the monastery of Khatravank (Armenian: Խաթրավանք) built in 1204, the monastery of Karmiravan (Armenian: Կարմիրավան) built in 1224, also known as the Red Monastery – Karmir Vank, Armenian: Կարմիր վանք, and the medieval village of Hin Vaghuhas (Armenian: Հին Վաղուհաս,).[1]
The population is mainly engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry. As of 2015, the village has a municipal building, a house of culture, a secondary school, seven shops, and a medical centre.[1]
The village had 638 inhabitants in 2005,[7] and 678 inhabitants in 2015.[1]
