Tutiya was a village in the territory of the Iravan uezd of the former Iravan governorate, later in the former Ellar (Kotayk, Abovyan) district, and present-day Kotayk province. It was located 14 km to the southeast of the village of Ellar. The village was noted in “The Iravan Province Review Book” dated 1728 and marked on the five-verst map of the Caucasus.

The village was inhabited by 36 Azerbaijanis in 1831, 280 in 1873, 449 in 1886, 568 in 1897, 493 in 1904, 554 in 1914 and 424 Azerbaijanis in 1916. Initially, the village was attacked by Armenian armed units who committed massacres in 1905. After the stabilization of the situation the surviving inhabitants of the village managed to return to their homes. The Azerbaijanis were attacked again and dispersed from the village by Armenian armed units in 1918 and the Armenians removed from abroad were settled in the village in 1925.

 The toponym was coined by adding the ending “-ya” to the name of Ishag’s son Tuti (Dudu) named Dad bey who was the leader of the Uchokh branch of the Oghuz. At present, the village is abolished.
