Sipan (Armenian: Սիփան) is a village in the Alagyaz Municipality of the Aragatsotn Province of Armenia.
Etymology
The village was previously known as Tamb (Թամբ), Pamb (Պամբ), Pambak (Պամբակ or Փամբակ), and Pamb Krdi (Փամբ Քրդի). It was renamed Sipan in 1978.[2]
History
During the period of the Russian Empire, the village was part of the Alexandropol Uezd of the Erivan Governorate, and became populated by Yazidi Kurds from the Kars region.[2]
In May 1918, the Ottomans crossed the river of Arpachay (Akhuryan) to wage a brief war against the Yerevan Republic. One column seized the city of Alexandropol and advanced north towards Mount Aragats, where 80 Yazidis got massacred in Pampa Kurda (Sipan).[3]
Demographics
The village is mostly populated by Yazidi Kurds.[2]
