Historical Introduction
19 c․

Projants is mentioned in the Annex to the “Chronicle”, alongside with other taxpayer villages of the Barkushat district and was known to the Armenians of the neighboring villages under its own name till the 19th century, although the Turks that settled here pronounced the name as Pirjan, Perjan or Parijan. In any case S. Bahatrian in 1885 clearly noted, that the “Godakhlu, Khasshtab and Pirjan (former Khachdab and Proshants) villages are included into the district of Bargushat”.
