Adiyaman is a village in the Alexandropol uezd of the former Iravan governorate, later in the former Talin district, and currently in the Aragatsotn province. The provincial centre lies 63 km to the northwest of the town of Ashtarak, and at a height of 2,150 m above sea level. It was marked in “The Iravan Province Review Book”, and on the five-verst map of the Caucasus.

The village was originally inhabited by the Azerbaijanis who gradually deserted the place after Armenians had been settled in the region.

By the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Armenian SSR dated 12 November 1946, it was renamed “Garnhovit”. 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 Aragatsotn province.
