Martiros (Armenian: Մարտիրոս) is a rural community (hamaynk) in the Vayk raion, Vayots Dzor Province, Armenia. There is a newer and older section to the village.
History
A huge khachkar in the older section of the village attests that the settlement was founded in 1283 at the command of Prince Prosh and his son Paron Hasan.[1]
