Martuni province occupies the southeastern part of the Artsakh Republic. In the northwest, it borders with the Askeran province, in the south with the Hadrut province. The state border with Azerbaijan runs in the east and northeast of Martuni. Compared to the other areas of Artsakh, Martuni has a flatter landscape; the Varanda River, with its tributary Amaras, flows through its territory.<\/p>\n
The territory of the district is 951 square kilometers. The provincial center is the city of Martuni, situated 45 km from Stepanakert. In ancient times, there was the historical province of Myus Haband, and then part of the area of Varanda.<\/p>\n
Various ancient monuments have been preserved here, among which the most impressive ones are the Amaras (IV-XVII centuries), Bri Eghtsi monasteries and the fortress Kusaberd-Akhchkaberd. The Martuni province is also fascinating in that on its territory in the village of Skhtorashen is the largest in the world and one of the oldest plane trees (a genus of trees, lat. Pl\u00e1tanus).
