Vang (Vəng) is a village in the Kalbajar District of Azerbaijan. The Dadivank monastery is located in the village.

History

The village was located in the Armenian-occupied territories surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh, coming under the control of ethnic Armenian forces during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War in the early 1990s. The village subsequently became part of the breakaway Republic of Artsakh as part of its Shahumyan Province, referred to as Dadivank (Armenian: Դադիվանք). It was returned to Azerbaijan as part of the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh ceasefire agreement. After the withdrawal of Armenian forces from the region, the Dadivank monastery in the village was placed under the protection of Russian peacekeeping forces.[2]
