Talış (Armenian: Թալիշ, T'alish) is a village in the Martakert Region of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (de facto). It has been under Armenian control since the 1994 ceasefire.
History
Several historical Armenian monuments are situated in Talysh, including the Horeka (Glkho) monastery (founded in the 5th century) that has numerous khachkars in its walls and its vestibule, and the Surb Astvadzadzin church (from 1894).[2][3]
During the Nagorno-Karabakh war, on April 11, 1994 Karabakh forces retook Talysh, securing the village of Gulistan.[4]
The village was severely damaged during the 2016 Armenian–Azerbaijani clashes. Azerbaijan's armed forces briefly took control over the village on the 2nd of April 2016. After Talysh had been retaken by Armenian forces, it was reported that an elderly Armenian couple from the village had been found shot in their home and their corpses had been mutilated. According to these reports, Azerbaijani soldiers had also killed another elderly woman.[5][6][7]
