Armenians constituted 73.2% of the population of the Shahumyan district in 1979, and the majority of the villages within the Shahumyan district and the Getashen subdistrict had an Armenian majority prior to the First Nagorno-Karabakh war and Operation Ring, with exception for some Azerbaijani-majority villages (as well as some smaller localities), which are mentioned as such in the following list. The Shahumyan district and Getashen subdistrict are claimed by the Republic of Artsakh as part of the Shahumyan Province.
