Iydali is a village in the Echmiadzin uezd of the former Iravan governorate, later in the former Gurdugulu (Hoktemberyan) district, and currently in the Armavir province. The provincial centre is located 14 km to the southwest of the town of Serdarabad (Hoktemberyan, Armavir), on the left bank of the Araz River, at a height of 855 m above sea level. It was marked on the five-verst map of the Caucasus. In the 1930s, it was part of the former Gurdugulu district.

The village was solely inhabited by Azerbaijanis: 113 in 1831, 562 in 1873, 629 in 1886, 706 in 1897, 880 in 1904, 934 in 1914, 637 in 1916 and 880 Azerbaijanis in early 1918. In February 1918 the Azerbaijanis were deported from their ancestral lands by Armenian armed forces. The Armenians from the Turkish provinces of Alashkirt, Beyazid, Samsun, Erzurum and Mush were settled in the village. The surviving Azerbaijanis managed to return to their historical and ethnic lands following the establishment of Soviet power in present-day Armenia. Along with the Armenians, the village was inhabited by 87 Azerbaijanis in 1922, 55 in 1926, and 80 Azerbaijanis in 1931. According to the decision of the USSR Council of Ministers dated 23 December 1947 on the resettlement of the Azerbaijani population from the territory of Armenia to the Kur-Araz lowland of Azerbaijan, the population of the village was forcibly deported to Azerbaijan. Currently, the village is inhabited only by Armenians.

The toponym was coined by adding the suffix “-li” to the Azerbaijani name of the tree “iyda” (Elaeagnus).

By the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Armenian SSR dated 10 April 1947, the village was renamed “Pshatavan”. 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.
