Toponymy
[edit]After the Ruso-Turkish war in 1830 several families, such as Yeranosyan, Yeghiayaryan, Naslyan, etc. left their native land Basen in Ayrarat province of the Great Hayq[2] and moved to the current area of Shirakamut or Nalband at the bank of Chichkhan river. The village is also known as Shirakarnut and previously as Nalband.
