Dashkorpu is a village in the Aghbaba area of the Kars uezd of the former Kars governorate, later in the former Amasiya (Aghbaba) district, and currently in the Shirak province. It is at a 2 km distance from the centre of the district, the provincial centre lies 25 km to the northwest of the town of Gumru, and at a height of 2,100 m above sea level.

The village was inhabited by Azerbaijanis only: 246 in 1886, 396 in 1908 and 431 Azerbaijanis in 1914. The geographical area was within the Republic of South-Western Caucasia established in Kars in 1918–1919. In February 1920 the village was devasted as a result of Armenian armed forces’ attack and its population moved to the villages of the province of Kars. Following the Treaty of Kars in 1921, the village was integrated into Soviet Armenia within the structure of the area of Aghbaba. Later, a part of its population returned to the village. The village was inhabited by 220 Azerbaijanis in 1922, 303 Azerbaijanis in 1931. According to the decision of the USSR Council of Ministers “On the resettlement of collective farmers and other Azerbaijani Population from the Armenian SSR to the Kur-Araz lowland of the Azerbaijan SSR” dated 23 December 1947, the inhabitants of Dashkorpu were deported in 1950 by being loaded into freight cars in Gumru (the former Leninakan). After I.Stalin’s death in 1953, a part of the population managed to return to the village. In 1988 the village was inhabited by 680 Azerbaijanis, 125 families, who were then ousted from their native land during the 1988 genocide. At present, the village of Dashkorpu was integrated into the community of the village of Amasiya.

The toponym was formed on the basis of a bridge of stone built in the territory of the village.
