**Debet** ([Armenian](/source/Armenian_language): Դեբետ, also [Romanized](/source/Romanize) as **Debed**; formerly, **Khachigyukh**) is a village in the [Lori Province](/source/Lori_Province) of [Armenia](/source/Armenia), seated on the right bank of the [Pambak](/source/Pambak_(river)) river in the northern Lori region of Armenia.

Before being named Debet in 1935 the village had a double name Alereksi-Khachi gyugh. Debet was founded in 1857 by the very well known person in that region named Gevorg Mahtesi. He also had a nickname, Cholakh which translated into English means “limping”. Gevorg Mahtesi lived in the village called [Marts](/source/Marts%2C_Armenia) which is not far from Debet. What the story tells us is that Mahtesi convinced a number of families from Marts to move to this new location and found a village. There are many words in the Debet colloquial language belonging to the Karabakh language group, which proves that the former homeland of a number of families who moved from Marts to Alereks was [Nagorno Karabakh](/source/Nagorno-Karabakh).

## Development programs

In 2015 some programs started to be implemented in Debet by [Children of Armenia Fund](/source/Children_of_Armenia_Fund).

Playground, cafeteria and brushodrome were created and renovated in the village by [COAF](/source/Children_of_Armenia_Fund).

In may, 2018 COAF SMART Center was opened in the village of Debet. This is an education hub for children and adults to gain new skills, ideas, create and find new path in their lives.[3]
