Shosh (Armenian: Շոշ) or Shushikend (Armenian: Շուշիքենդ; Azerbaijani: Şuşikənd, Russian: Шушике́нд) is a village in the Khojaly District of Azerbaijan, in the region of Nagorno-Karabakh. Until 2023 it was controlled by the breakaway Republic of Artsakh. The village had an ethnic Armenian-majority population[2] until the exodus of the Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh following the 2023 Azerbaijani offensive in Nagorno-Karabakh.[3]
