Mammadrza Gishlaghi was a village in the Sharur-Daralayaz uezd of the former Iravan governorate, later in the former Pashali (Azizbeyov, Vayk) district, and present-day Vayots Dzor province. The name of the village was officially documented as “Mamarza”. It was located on the right bank of the Arpachay and marked on the five-verst map of the Caucasus. The village was noted as Mamarza kend.

The village was solely inhabited by Azerbaijanis: 67 in 1873, 52 in 1886, 96 in 1897, 104 in 1904, 114 in 1914 and 106 Azerbaijanis in 1916. The Azerbaijanis were attacked, massacred or ousted from the village by Armenian armed units in 1918. After the establishment of Soviet power in present-day Armenia, those who survived managed to return to their homes. The village was solely inhabited by Azerbaijanis: 36 in 1922, 77 in 1926 and 104 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 the Armenian SSR to the Kur-Araz lowlands of the Azerbaijan SSR” dated 23 December 1947. At present, it lies in ruins.

The toponym was coined by combining the personal name “Mammadrza” (Mamarza) and “gishlag”.
