Aghdere

Aghdere was a village in the territory of the Sharur-Daralayaz uezd of the former Iravan governorate, later in the former Keshishkend (Yeghegnadzor) district, and present-day Vayots Dzor province. It was located near the village of Daratumb, to the right of the Salim River.

The village was inhabited by 78 Azerbaijanis in 1831 and three Azerbaijanis in 1897. The village was abolished in the late 19th century.

The toponym was coined by combining the words “agh” meaning “small, little” in Old Turkic, and “dere” meaning “a depression or valley between two mountains or hills” in Azerbaijani to denote “a village near a small valley”.
