Kasikbash is a village in the Novo-Bayazid uezd of the former Iravan governorate, in the former Ashagi Garanlig (Martuni) district, and currently in the Gegharkunik province. It is located adjacent to the village of Madina, 4 km to the southwest of the village of Ashagi Garanlig, at a height of 2,125 m above sea level.

The Azerbaijani population of the village gradually left their lands following the settlement of Armenians in the area from Iran and Türkiye.

The toponym was coined from an ethnotoponym based on the name of the Kasikbash tribe.

By the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Armenian SSR dated 7 December 1945, the village was renamed “Lernakert”. According to the law “On the administrative-territorial division of the Republic of Armenia” dated 7 November 1995, it was integrated into the administrative territory of the Gegharkunik province.
