Takhchakom

Takhchakom was a winter pasture located in the territory of the Novo-Bayazid uezd of the former Iravan governorate, later in the former Chambarak (Krasnoselsk) district, and present-day Gegharkunik province. It was located near the village of Tokhluja (Drakhtik), on the shores of Lake Goycha.

The pasture was inhabited by 12 Azerbaijanis in 1926. It was dissolved in the 1930s. Later, a sheep farm of the Tokhluja village was located there.

The toponym was coined by combining the word “takhta” (in the Goycha dialect it is used as “takhcha” ) used in the sense of “plains in the hill” and the word “kom” used in the sense of “a sheepfold”.
