Aralig is a village in the Alexandropol uezd of the former Iravan governorate, later in the former Duzkend (Akhuryan) district, and currently in the Shirak province. The provincial centre lies 13 km to the southwest of the town of Gumru, at a height of 1,480 m above sea level. It had been governed by the former Gumru (Leninakan) district until 1937.

The village was inhabited by the Karapapags, one of the ethnographic groups of the Azerbaijanis. The village was inhabited by 300 Karapapags (Azerbaijanis) in 1886, 397 in 1897, 441 in 1908 and 510 Karapapags (Azerbaijanis) in 1914. In 1918 the Azerbaijani inhabitants were deported having been exposed to massacre by the Armenians, and in 1921 Armenians were removed from the Ardon village of the Mush province of Türkiye to be settled there. At present, the village is inhabited by Armenians.

Being coined by adding the suffix of location “-lıq” to the word “ara” used in the sense of “a boundary, border, a line, abutment demarcating two lands, properties, etc.”, “a distance between two settlements”, “a middle position”, the toponym expresses the meaning “a village situated in the middle, between two villages, at the frontline of the two villages”.

By the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Armenian SSR dated 7 December 1945, it was renamed “Yerezgavors”. 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 Armavir province.
