Tsapatagh (Armenian: Ծափաթաղ) is a resort village in the Shoghakat Municipality of the Gegharkunik Province in Armenia, on the northeastern shore of Lake Sevan.[3]
Geography and nature[edit]
The village is located in the vicinity of the Tandzut river delta (not to be confused with identically named Tandzut river in the Lori province).[4] Other sources indicate different river names, the Tsapatagh river running through the village and the Shishkert river (or the Shampyrt river) to the southeast of the village.[5] In the surroundings of the village there is a 3,312 hectare large sanctuary with unique relict juniper and open oak woodlands with typical fauna and flora.[6][7] The climate is somewhat milder than on the western shores and fruit trees like apricot trees can be grown.
Economy and tourism[edit]
The Tufenkian Hotel with adjacent solar photovoltaic installations is located in the village. To the southeast, another much larger photovoltaic station is being constructed as of 2020.
Historical heritage sites[edit]
There is a 3,000-year old burial area three kilometres to the east of the village. In the southeast, about 1.5 kilometres away, there is a cemetery with khachkars dating from between the 14th and 18th centuries.[4]
Demographics[edit]
Population[edit]
In 2014 there were 379 residents according to the local administration.[8] In 2018 there was only one child who begun attending the local school.[9]
Many of modern local residents relocated to the village from Kushchu village of Dashkasan,[10] as well as from Baku and Ganja around 1988–1989.[4] Quite a few of the houses are used only in summer by Yerevan residents.
