The Shamshadin District ( Armenian: Շամշադինի շրջան) was a raion (district) of the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic from 1929 and later in 1991 of the Republic of Armenia until its disestablishment in 1995. The Shamshadin district today constitutes a southeastern part of the Tavush Province ( marz). Its administrative centre was the town of Berd.
The Shamshadin district was formed on the territory of the Armenian SSR on 24 June 1929, originally a part of the Dilijan uezd which had been separated from the tsarist Kazakh uezd in 1921. [1]
Shortly after the breakup of the Soviet Union, the administration of the Republic of Armenia consolidated the Shamshadin, Noyemberyan and Ijevan districts into the larger Tavush Province. [2]
There were 16 villages in the Shamshadin District:
