Tzitzernavank (Dzidzernavank) Monastery (Armenian: Ծիծեռնավանք, Swallows Monastery) is an Armenian Apostolic Church monastery located in Lachin district of Azerbaijan (currently the region of Kashatagh under control of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic). The monastery dates from the 4th - 6th centuries and recognized as a native Armenian example of an “oriental” architectural type [1].
The church of St. Gregory was reopened after a restoration in 1999-2000 [2].
