Hovk (Armenian: Հովք; Azerbaijani: Haqqıxlı, anglicized: Haggikhly) is a village in the Dilijan municipality of the Tavush Province of Armenia. The village was populated by Azerbaijanis before the exodus of Azerbaijanis from Armenia after the outbreak of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. In 1988-1989 Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan settled in the village.[1]

Etymology

The village was originally known as Aghkikhlu. In 1978, it was renamed honor of Azeri poet and dramatist Samed Vurghun (1906-1956), a winner of the Lenin Prize.[2] After the independence of Armenia, the village was renamed Hovk in 1991, literally meaning winds in Armenian.
