Jil (Armenian: Ջիլ) is a village in the Gegharkunik Province of Armenia, located near the northern shore of Lake Sevan. Most of the beach in close proximity to the village remains uninhabited with a strip of forested land that lines the shore.[2]
History[]
Two kilometers north of the village is the Dasht Ler Castle (also called the Dashti-ler fort) from the 1st millennium BC.[2]
The village was founded in the 12th century. On a German map from 1902 it is mentioned as the main settlement in the area between present-day villages Shoghakat and Mets Masrik.[3]
The village was populated by Azerbaijanis before the exodus of Azerbaijanis from Armenia after the outbreak of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. In 1988-1989 Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan settled in the village.[4][5][6]
