Shatvan
Shatvan (Armenian: Շատվան; Azerbaijani: Nərimanlı, anglicized: Narimanly) is a village in the Gegharkunik Province of Armenia. The village was populated by Azerbaijanis before the exodus of Azerbaijanis from Armenia after the outbreak of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. In 1988-1989 Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan settled in the village. Khachkars and church ruins have been preserved in the village. [2]
