Mets Taghlar (Armenian: Մեծ Թաղլար; Russian: Мец Тагла́р; Azerbaijani: Mets Tağlar), Mets Tagher (Armenian: Մեծ Թաղեր, lit. 'Big quarter') or Boyuk Taghlar (Azerbaijani: Böyük Tağlar) 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] After the capture of the village in 2020 by Azerbaijani forces, large portions of the village along with several historical objects were destroyed by Azerbaijani authorities.
