Khnatsakh (Armenian: Խնածախ) is a village in the Tegh Municipality of the Syunik Province in Armenia.

[3][4] The Melikdom of Kashatagh was founded at the end of the 15th century by Melik Haykaz I, also the founder of the Melik-Haykazyan dynasty (the youngest branch of the Armenian princely dynasty of Proshyan).

Previously, the Kashatagh region was first ruled by the Orbelian family, and then by the Shahurnetsi clan.

[3][4] Another palace of Melik Haykaz I,[7] built in the late 15th century, is located close to the village of Melikashen (today Hüsülü), near the Tsitsernavank Monastery.

[4] The names of Melik Hakhhnazar and his brother Haykaz (who is also mentioned in the document of 1691/92 as one of the witnesses) are part of the 1682 inscription on the facade of the entrance to the Church of the Holy Virgin in the village of Mirik.
