Yeghegnut (Yegheknut in the local dialect) is one of the ancient settlements of the Tsar province of Artsakh, Greater Armenia.
Yeghegnut church, according to preserved record and tradition, was built by Arzu Khatun, who played a major role in the construction of Dadi monastery, and who was the wife of Prince Vakhtang of Verin Khachen (Tsar).
In the territory of the village, a number of khachkars were preserved, which bore valuable inscriptions, but the foreigners settled in the area, diligently removed the Armenian historical and cultural monuments, using them in the construction of their dwellings.
During the Soviet period, after the annexation of Artsakh to Soviet Azerbaijan, the Azerbaijani authorities excluded Yeghegnut from the composition of Nagorno-Karabakh.
Yeghegnut was liberated in 1991-1994, during the Artsakh war in 1993. After the liberation, the village began to be resettled and already in 2008, had 210 inhabitants.
In 2020, as a result of the third Artsakh war, Yeghegnut was occupied by the armed forces of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
