Amaras Monastery (Armenian: Ամարաս վանք) is an Armenian monastery[2] near the village in the Khojavend District of Azerbaijan and formerly the Republic of Artsakh.[3] It was a prominent religious and educational center in medieval Armenia.[4]
Azerbaijan denies the monastery's Armenian Apostolic heritage, instead referring to it as "Caucasian Albanian".[5]

The demographics of the region have fluctuated sharply over time, but an Armenian presence has been recorded there off and on for centuries, and the hills are dotted with medieval Armenian churches, such as Amaras and Gandzasar.
