Achanan (Armenian: Աճանան) is a village in the Kapan Municipality of the Syunik Province in Armenia. In 1988-1989 Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan settled in the village.[3]

There is a building inside the village constructed in 695 AD, with an inscription in Persian testifying to the year of construction and incorporating parts of the Koran. The inclusion of the Koran indicates the building's prior use as an Islamic holy place, but in modern history both Azerbaijani and Armenian residents of the village used it only as a warehouse. The building continues to be maintained and repaired today by the local villagers.[4]

## Demographics
