Gara Ahmedli

Gara Ahmedli was a winter pasture located in the territory of the Gazakh uezd of the former Yelizavetpol (Ganja) governorate, later in the former Chambarak (Krasnoselsk) district, and currently in the Gegharkunik province. It was located near the village of Chaykend (Dprabak). Until 1937 it had been subordinated to the Dilijan district.

The pasture was inhabited by 38 Azerbaijanis in 1926. In the 1940s the Azerbaijanis were displaced and it was dissolved as a settlement.

The name of the place is an ethnotoponym coined on the basis of the word “gara” used in the sense of “great, big” in Turkic and the tribal name “Ahmadli”.
