Church of the Holy Resurrection

Church of the Holy Resurrection, Armenian church building in Lachin, Azerbaijan.

The Church of the Holy Resurrection was an Armenian Apostolic church on a small hill at the southwestern edge of Lachin, near the M-12 highway. Built of gray tuff, it had a central dome, two vestries, a baptismal font and a small bell tower, with a khachkar by the entrance.

The foundation was laid on 3 March 1996 on a small hill at the southwestern edge of Lachin, three years after Armenian forces took the city during the First Karabakh War. It was built in memory of Armenian soldiers killed in the fighting for the city and completed in 1998 with funding attributed to the Tufenkian Foundation. The church was closed in November 2020, passed to Azerbaijani control on 26 August 2022, and was reported demolished in May 2024.

The church was built as a memorial to Armenian soldiers who died fighting for Lachin, and its Armenian name, Surp Harutyun, means Holy Resurrection. A khachkar stood beside the entrance. The building was demolished in 2024, so nothing of it remains on the hill today.

The church stood on a small hill at the southwestern edge of Lachin, next to the M-12 highway and about 150 metres above the left bank of the Hakari River. It was demolished in 2024, so no structure remains to visit; satellite imagery shows an empty plot at the site.

The church was demolished in 2024; satellite imagery published by researcher Raffi Kortoshian showed an empty space where it had stood. Azerbaijani official Faig Ismayilov argued it was not a historical monument because it was built in the 1990s and, in his view, against Azerbaijani law.
