Aygut (Armenian: Այգուտ; Azerbaijani: Gölkənd, lit. 'Lake village') is a village in the Chambarak Municipality of the Gegharkunik Province of Armenia, located to the north of Lake Sevan. The nearby village of Chapkut also belongs to the community of Aygut.[2] The village was populated by Azerbaijanis before the exodus of Azerbaijanis from Armenia after the outbreak of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. In 1988-1989 Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan settled in the village.[3]
