Daymadaghli

Daymadaghli is a village in the Zangezur uezd of the former Yelizavetpol (Ganja) governorate, later in the former Gafan district, and currently in the Syunik province. The provincial centre lies 22 km to the north of the town of Gapan, at a height of 1,100 m above sea level. The settlement was integrated into the administrative area of Armenia following the establishment of the Zangezur uezd in Soviet Armenia on 31 August 1921.

The village was initially inhabited by Azerbaijanis who left it after Armenians had been settled in the region.

The toponym was formed on the basis of the ethnonym of “Daymadaghildilar” belonging to the Kabirli Turkic tribe. The village was renamed “Shrvenants” in 1920.

According to the law “On the administrative-territorial division of the Republic of Armenia” dated 7 November 1995, it was integrated into the administrative area of the Syunik province.
