Church Of Saint Elisæus (Oghuz)
Church of Saint Elisæus (, , ) — was a former Eastern Orthodox church and Armenian Apostolic Church named after Elisaeus of Albania; now a museum located in Oğuz, Azerbaijan (formerly Vartashen). History Two different theories exist about foundation of the church. According to one version, it was found by bishop Pyotr (or Petre) Silikov in 1822, however according to Mikhail Bezhanov, a local Udi ethnograph it was his ancestor Iosif Bezhanov who built this church. Both sources agree on the date and its foundation as Eastern Orthodox church, however. According to Georgian researcher Roland Topchishvili, later the church fell under jurisdiction of Armenian Church and some members of Silikov family Armenianized, possibly causing the dispute.
