Hovk (Armenian: Հովք) is a village in the Dilijan Municipality of the Tavush Province in Armenia. In 1988–1989 Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan settled in the village;[2] refugees from Getashen, the villages of Shamkhor as well as from Martunashen (present-day Qarabulaq) resettled in the village.[3]

Etymology

The village was originally known as Haqqikhli. In 1978, it was renamed honor of Azeri poet and dramatist Samed Vurghun (1906-1956), a winner of the Lenin Prize.[4] After the independence of Armenia, on April 3, 1991, by the decision of the Supreme Council of Armenia, Samed Vurghun was renamed Hovk.[5]
