Tsitsernavank[a] (Armenian: Ծիծեռնավանք) is a fifth-to-sixth century[1][2] Armenian Apostolic monastery[3][4][1] in the Lachin District of Azerbaijan. The monastery is within five kilometers of the border of Armenia's province of Syunik, in an area historically known as Kashataghk (Armenian: Քաշաթաղք).[5]

In Azerbaijan, the monastery is called Aghoghlan (Azerbaijani: Ağoğlan); the state refuses to recognize the monastery as Armenian Apostolic, instead referring to it as "Caucasian Albanian".
