Musayelyan ( Armenian: Մուսայելյան) is a village in the Ashotsk Municipality of the Shirak Province of Armenia. The St. Trdat church built in 1896 is located in the village. [2]
Etymology
The village was previously known as Bozekhush [3] ( Azerbaijani: Bozyokuş; [4] Russian: Боз-Ехуш; [5] Armenian: Բոզյոխուշ [6]). The village was later renamed after Bolshevik captain Sargis Musayelyan [4] who committed his troops and the armoured train Vardan Zoravar ( Armenian: Վարդան Զորավար, lit. ' General Vardan') to the May Uprising against the Dashnak government of Armenia in Aleksandropol ( Gyumri)—He was imprisoned for several months until the Red Army executed two notable Dashnaks in Zangezur, thus prompting his execution in retaliation. [7]
Economy
The population engages in animal husbandry, with the cultivation of grain and fodder crops. [2]
