Tarakamalar was a village in the territory of the Iravan uezd of the former Iravan governorate, later in the former Vedi (Ararat) district, and present-day Ararat province. It was located 28-30 km to the northeast of the village of Boyuk Vedi. The village was noted in “The Iravan Province Review Book” and marked on the five-verst map of the Caucasus.

The village was inhabited by 32 Azerbaijanis in 1873, 46 in 1886, 35 in 1897, 50 in 1904, 83 in 1914 and 49 Azerbaijanis in 1916. The Azerbaijanis were attacked, massacred or expelled from the village by Armenian armed units in 1918. The village was later abolished. At present, it lies in ruins.

The toponym was coined on the basis of the Turkic ethnonym “Tarakamalar” who contributed to the ethnogenesis of Azerbaijanis.
