Mehrabli is a village in the Iravan uezd of the former Iravan governorate, later in the former Gamarli (Artashat) district, and currently in the Ararat province. The provincial centre lies 16 km to the northwest of the town of Gamarli, at a height of 900 m above sea level. It is marked in “The Iravan Province Review Book”.

In 1897 the village was inhabited by 14 Azerbaijanis. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Azerbaijanis were expelled by Armenian militants. Currently, the village is inhabited only by Armenians.

The toponym was coined on the basis of the name of the Mehrabli multi-generational family of the Turkic Garadolag tribe.

By the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Armenian SSR dated 20 August 1945, the name of the village was changed to “Vardashen”. 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 Ararat province.
