Hrazdan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hrazdan (Հրազդան in Armenian) formerly Akhta is the capital of the Kotayk province of Armenia. The name Hrazdan is derived from the Middle-Persian name Frazdan. Farzdan is connected to the Zoroastrian mythology. With a population 43,926 it is the fourth-largest city in Armenia by its population and during the Soviet years it was one of the highly-industrialised towns of the Armenian Republic. Makravank Monastery is located in Hrazdan and there are also 13th century AD St. Astvatsatsin Church and 11th century AD chapel.
