Farukh

Parukh (Armenian: Փառուխ) or Farukh (Azerbaijani: Farux, also Fərrux, Farrukh; Russian: Фарух), is an Armenian-populated village located in the Khojaly District of Azerbaijan, in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh.

[7] According to Artsakh authorities, despite Azerbaijani forces having left the settlement, they continue to occupy a piece of the Karaglukh mountain.

[8] On 9 June 2022, Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov promised that a solution for the situation in the village will be provided in the process of demarcation between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Nearby is also the St. Astvatsatsin Church from the late medieval period with khachkars in the walls, possibly built on the foundations of an earlier 13th-century basilica, as well as settlement ruins and a cemetery from between the 16th and 17th centuries.

As of 2015, the village has a municipal building, the Parukh branch of the Khramort Secondary School, and a medical centre.
