Zaritap (Armenian: Զառիթափ; also Romanized as Zarrit’ap’ and Zarritap; formerly Azizbekov, Pashalu and Pashaghu) is a village in the Vayots Dzor Province of Armenia. For a time the village was renamed in honor of Meshadi Azizbekov, an early Bolshevik and one of the 26 Baku Commissars. In the vicinity are 13th c. khachkars and the traces of an old fort.
