Mets Taghlar

'Big quarter') or Boyuk Taghlar (Azerbaijani: Böyük Tağlar) is a village in the Khojavend District of Azerbaijan, in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh.

During the Russian Empire, Mets Taghlar was part of its own rural commune (сельское общество) within the second subcounty (uchastok) of the Shusha uezd of the Elizavetpol Governorate within the Caucasus Viceroyalty.
