Garatorpag was a village in the territory of the Iravan uezd of the former Iravan governorate, later in the former Vedi (Ararat) district, and present-day Ararat province. It was located near the village of Kolanli, in the Jighin valley and on the bank of the Garatorpag River. The village was marked on the five-verst map of the Caucasus.

The village was solely inhabited by Azerbaijanis: 138 in 1873, 15 in 1886 and 64 Azerbaijanis in 1931. The village was abolished, after the Azerbaijani population of the village had forcibly been deported to Azerbaijan in accordance with the decision of the USSR Council of Ministers “On the resettlement of collective farmers and other Azerbaijani population from Armenian SSR to the Kur-Araz lowlands of the Azerbaijan SSR” dated 23 December 1947.

The toponym was coined by combining the words “gara” meaning “black” and “torpag”.
