While Artsvashen was lost to Azerbaijan, three Azerbaijani enclaves came under Armenian control in the early 1990s. CivilNet’s reporter Tatul Hakobyan visited the sites of former Azerbaijani enclaves in Armenia, as well as Chambarak and Drakhtik villages in Gegharkounik province, where residents of Artsvashen settled after fleeing their homes.
