Ashaghi Aylanli is a village in the Echmiadzin uezd of the former Iravan governorate, later in the former Uchkilsa (Echmiadzin, Vagharshapat) district, in the present- day Armavir province. The provincial centre lies 7 km to the southwest of the town of Serdarabad (Armavir), on the right bank of the Kasakh River and at a height of 890 m above sea level. It was marked on the five-verst map of the Caucasus. Another name for the village was Aylanli-Yasakhlu.
Only Azerbaijanis had lived there until 1828. Following the Treaty of Turkmenchay, the Armenians removed from Iran were settled in the village in 1828–1830. After the 1830s it became a village of a mixed population. Along with the Armenians, the village was inhabited by 59 Azerbaijanis in 1831, eight Azerbaijanis in 1897. In the 1890s they were forced out of their historical-ethnic land. At present, the village is inhabited by Armenians.
The toponym “Aylanli” was coined on the basis of the name of a multi-generational family. The Aylanli tribe was mentioned as “Aylanoghlu” in F.Sumer’s book “The Oghuz”. The word “ashaghi” denotes a distinguishing feature.
By the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Armenian SSR dated 4 Aprel 1946, the village was renamed “Lenughi”, and since 1991 it has been renamed “Khoronk”. 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.
