Azat (Armenian: Ազատ; Azerbaijani: Ağkilsə, lit. 'White church') is a village in the Vardenis Municipality of 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.[2]

Located in the village is a heavily ruined 11th century church and a pair of medieval khachkars.[3]
The village was the birthplace of Azerbaijani ashik Ashig Alasgar (1821–1926).[4]
