Sarchapet Population 2100. Territory- 23.9 km2 The community was established in the 1820s and 1830s. Inhabitants mainly are migrants from Mush and Alashkert, Western Armenia, who migrated during Russian−Persian war in 1826-28 and moved to Eastern Armenia. Such a group came near the mountain Lokh, as it is told, to pass the woods. It is told that the wheel of the coach was broken and the family settled at the foot of the second queen Lokh (after Lalvar), and in the northern part it is bordered by Georgia.
