Aralig

Aralig was a village in the Echmiadzin uezd of the former Iravan governorate, later in the former Talin district, and present-day Aragatsotn province. It was located at the western foot of the Alagoz Mountain. The village was marked on the five-verst map of the Caucasus.

The village was solely inhabited by Azerbaijanis: 16 in 1831, 172 in 1873, 162 in 1886, 214 in 1897, 193 in 1904, 205 in 1914 and 194 Azerbaijanis in 1916. The village was exposed to the aggression of Armenian armed formations in 1918 and the Azerbaijanis were massacred or deported from their historical and ethnic lands.

Being formed on the basis of the word “aralig” which means “between two objects, the middle”, the toponym implies “a village in the middle”. The village was abolished.
