Gunashli (Azerbaijani: Günəşli, lit. 'sunny') or Norashen (Armenian: Նորաշեն, lit. 'new village') is a village in the Khojavend District of Azerbaijan, in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh. The village had an ethnic Armenian-majority population prior to the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, and also had an Armenian majority in 1989.[2]
History
During the Soviet period, the village was part of the Hadrut District of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast. After the First Nagorno-Karabakh War, the village was administrated as part of the Hadrut Province of the breakaway Republic of Artsakh. The village was rebuilt after the war, and in September 2006 a new school was built. The village came under the control of Azerbaijan on 20 October 2020, during the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war.[3]
