Martuni District (Azerbaijani: Martuni rayonu, Мартуни рајону; Armenian: Մարտունու շրջան) was an administrative unit within the former Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast (NKAO) of the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic.[1]
The administrative centre of the district was the town of Martuni.
The Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast was abolished on 26 November 1991.[2] On 13 October 1992, the Martuni district was merged with the Hadrut district to form the Khojavend District.[3]
Following the First Nagorno-Karabakh war, most of the former district came under the control of the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh and was incorporated into its Martuni Province, while Azerbaijan retained control of a small eastern part of the district. During the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, Azerbaijan recaptured the southern part of the former district.
