Susanlyg (az|Susanlıq) or Mokhrenes (hy|Մոխրենես) is a village in the Khojavend 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 Hadrut District of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast. After the First Nagorno-Karabakh War, the village was administrated as part of the Hadrut Province of the breakaway Republic of Artsakh. The village came under the control of Azerbaijan during the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war.[3] Subsequently, the 18th-century Armenian St. Sargis Church of the village was destroyed by Azerbaijan between March-July 2022.[4]
Historical heritage sites in and around the village include the 5th/6th-century monastery church of Okhty Drni (hy|Օխտը դռնի,), a 10th/11th-century khachkar, a 13th-century bridge, an 18th/19th-century cemetery, and the church of Surb Sargis (hy|Սուրբ Սարգիս) built in 1840.[1] St. Sargis church was destroyed between March and July 2022.[5]
The village had 212 inhabitants in 2005,[6] and 180 inhabitants in 2015.[1]
