Hayanist (Armenian: Հայանիստ) is a village in the Ararat Province of Armenia. The distance from Yerevan is 15.4 km. Despite the favourable location of the community (proximity to Yerevan and abundance of good agricultural land), most households cannot provide for their living and heads of families often chose the labour migration as the only solution of their problems. Around 160 ha of the Community's agricultural land are not irrigated.
