Astghashen (Armenian: Աստղաշեն) or Dashbulag (Armenian: Դաշբուլաղ; Azerbaijani: Daşbulaq) is a village in the region of Nagorno-Karabakh, in the Khojaly District of Azerbaijan. The village is famous for its unique star-shaped stones, which the village derives its name from.[2] Until 2023 it was controlled by the breakaway Republic of Artsakh. The village had an ethnic Armenian-majority population[3] until the exodus of the Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh following the 2023 Azerbaijani offensive in Nagorno-Karabakh.[4]
