Complementary to the lost villages, I want to add this map by @LCarabinier about the Armenian monasteries of the region. Monasteries in the occupied areas are in danger of demolition:

Additional info: Another village on the border of Armenia and Azerbaijan - off the limits of the map - partially affected by ethnical cleansing is Shurnukh (Location: google.com/maps/@39.38255…)

Also, the ancient city of Tigranakert is located in the areas occupied by the Aliyev regime and might be in danger of demolition, as has happened with Armenian cultural heritage in Naxçıvan (Location: google.com/maps/@40.07453…).

It appears the history of Shurnukh, the village on the border of Armenia and Azerbaijan is a bit more complicated. While being an Armenian village originally, it was abandoned for unknown reasons for large parts of the 19th century.
After 1886, it was settled by Azerbaijanis.

These remained the majority in the 20th century until the first Artsakh war, when the Azerbaijani population was forced to flee and the village settled by Armenians.
