Yagublu

Yagublu was a village in the territory of the Echmiadzin uezd of the former Iravan governorate, later in the former Abaran district, and present-day Aragatsotn province. The village was marked on the five-verst map of the Caucasus. Another name for the village was “Taza Kalash”.

The village was inhabited solely by Azerbaijanis: 120 in 1897, 200 in 1908, 213 in 1914 and 208 Azerbaijanis in 1916. The Azerbaijanis were attacked, massacred or expelled from the village by Armenian armed groups in 1918. The village was later abolished. At present, it lies in ruins.

The toponym was coined on the basis of the name of the Yagublu tribe.
