Madadkend (az|Mədədkənd) or Madatashen (hy|Մադաթաշեն) is a village in the Khojaly District of Azerbaijan, in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh. The village had an ethnic Armenian-majority population prior to the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, and also had an Armenian majority in 1989.[2]
During the Soviet period, the village was part of the Askeran District of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast. After the First Nagorno-Karabakh War, the village was administrated as part of the Askeran Province of the breakaway Republic of Artsakh. The village was captured by Azerbaijan during the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war. Subsequently, videos emerged online showing Azerbaijani forces committing a war crime by decapitating 69-year old Armenian Genadi Petrosyan.[3] [4]
Historical heritage sites in and around the village include a 17th-century bridge, a 17th-century spring monument, an 18th/19th-century cemetery, a 19th-century watermill, and the 19th-century church of Surb Astvatsatsin (hy|Սուրբ Աստվածածին,).[1]
The village had 94 inhabitants in 2005,[5] and 104 inhabitants in 2015.[1]
