NKR (Country) / Kashunik (District) / Japkut (Village)

Location

Presumably this village was resettled by the Kurds and renamed to Jibikli at the end of the 19th century. It is situated at the source of the tributary to the Setants River, on the southern slope of a mountain, at the altitude of 1350-1430 m above the sea.

Historical Introduction

Japkut was mentioned in the list of the Kashunik villages with the tithe amounting to 12 dahekan, which indicates that it was a relatively large village. However, the comparison of Armenian root Japk (of Japkut) with the Turkish Jibik leaves no doubts that this is the same village.
