Goturbulag

Goturbulag is a village in the Gazakh uezd of the former Yelizavetpol (Ganja) governorate, later in the former Chambarak (Krasnoselsk) district, and currently in the Gegharkunik province. The provincial centre lies 79 km to the northeast of the town of Kavar (Gavar), at a height of 1,740 m above sea level.

The village was originally inhabited by Azerbaijanis, and following the settlement of Armenians in the area, the population gradually left the village. The village was named “Goturbulag”, as it was built nearby a curative spring. Sick people would use that water. It is a hydrotoponym. Later, the village was renamed “Ttujur”.

According to the law “On the administrative-territorial division of the Republic of Armenia” dated 7 November 1995, it was integrated into the administrative territory of the Gegharkunik province.
