Baghanis () is a rural village in northeastern Armenia, near the country's border with Azerbaijan. Administratively, it is part of Noyemberyan Municipality in Tavush Province. Due to tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan arising from the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Baghanis has occasionally received gunfire from the Azerbaijani side of the border.
== History == Baghanis lies only a few kilometers from the Armenia–Azerbaijan border, making it one of Armenia's most vulnerable settlements in regard to cross-border skirmishes caused by escalations of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The village's proximity to Azerbaijani military positions has led to occasional incidents of stray gunfire hitting the village over the years, with bullet holes visible in many buildings. In response, a number of homes adjacent to the border have been fortified, and a classroom in the village school was converted into a safe room. A new kindergarten was built in 2019 as far from the border as possible.
