Hayanist (Armenian: Հայանիստ) is a village in the Masis Municipality of the Ararat Province of Armenia. The distance from Yerevan is 15.4 km. Despite the favourable location of the community (proximity to Yerevan and abundance of good agricultural land), most households cannot provide for their living and heads of families often chose the labour migration as the only solution of their problems. Around 160 hectares of the community's agricultural land are not irrigated.
Etymology
[edit | edit source]The village was originally known as Gharaghshlar,[2] Gharaghshlagh,[3] or Kara-Kishlak[4] (Armenian: Ղարաղշլաղ, romanized: Ġaraġšlaġ;[5] Russian: Каракишляг, romanized: Karakishlyag;[6] Azerbaijani: Qaraqışlaq[7]), meaning black kishlak. In 1978, the village was renamed Dostlug[3] or Dostlugh (Dostluq, meaning "friendship"); finally, it received the name Hayanist in 1991 following the exodus of its Azerbaijani population.[2]
History
[edit | edit source]Hayanist, then known as Kara-Kishlak, was part of the Erivan uezd of the Erivan Governorate within the Russian Empire.[6] Bournoutian presents the statistics of the village in the early 20th century as follows:[4]

| Orrigated plowed fields | 209 desyatinas (2.28 sq km) |
| Unirrigated fodder fields | 4.75 desyatinas (0.05 sq km) |
| Total land | 224.5 desyatinas (2.45 sq km) |

Notes
[edit | edit source]- ^ a b Before 1918, Azerbaijanis were generally known as "Tatars". This term, employed by the Russians, referred to Turkic-speaking Muslims of the South Caucasus. After 1918, with the establishment of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic and "especially during the Soviet era", the Tatar group identified itself as "Azerbaijani".[8][9]
