Chubukhlu is a village in the Novo-Bayazid uezd of the former Iravan governorate, later in the former Yelenovka (Sevan) district, and currently in the Gegharkunik province. The provincial centre lies 46 km to the northwest of the town of Kavar (Yeni Bayazid, Kamo), by Lake Goycha, on the highway of Iravan-Dilijan, and at a height of 2,000 m above sea level. The village was mentioned in “The Iravan Province Review Book”, and on the five-verst map of the Caucasus.

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

The toponym was coined on the basis of a Turkic ethnonym “Chubuglu”.

The village was renamed “Tsovagyugh” by the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Armenian SSR dated 3 January 1935. 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 Gegharkunik province.
