List of Armenian churches in Azerbaijan

List of Armenian Apostolic churches in Azerbaijan.

A complete list of known Armenian Apostolic churches in Nakhichevan built since the adoption of Christianity in Armenia would include more than 280 churches. Recent reports have alleged that probably all of the Armenian churches in Nakhchivan that were still standing in the decade before the collapse of the Soviet Union were destroyed by Azerbaijan in the aftermath of the Nagorno-Karabakh war. A 2006 report about a visit made to Nakhchivan in 2005 stated that of the five churches visited all were found to have been completely destroyed, in particular the 14th-century St. Karapet monastery in Abrakunis, and the 17th-century St. Hakop-Hayrapet church in Shurut. Azerbaijan has repeatedly barred on-site investigation of the condition of Armenian monuments in the region by outside groups.

Armenians divided the region into 5 gavars (regions): Goghtn, Yernjak, Nakhichevan, Chahuk-Shahaponq and Sharur.

Number of known Armenian churches in Goghtn was 94.

Number of known Armenian churches in Ernjak was 68.

Number of known Armenian churches in Nakhichevan gavar was 34.

Number of known Armenian churches in Chahuk-Shahaponq was 71.

Number of known Armenian churches in Sharur was 17.
