'Artsvashen' (, also known as 'Artzvashen' or 'Bashkend') is an exclave of Armenia's Gegharkunik province. Its size is about 40 square kilometers, and it's completely surrounded by Azerbaijan and has been controlled by it since the Nagorno-Karabakh War. Today, the village is mostly inhabited by Azeris due to a forceful population exchange between Armenia and Azerbaijan during the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. It has been renamed 'Bashkend' by the Azerbaijani government.
