The Shamshadin District (Armenian: Շամշադինի շրջան) was a raion (district) of the Armenian SSR from 1929 and later of Armenia until its disestablishment in 1995.[1] The Shamshadin district today constitutes a part of the southeastern section of the Tavush Province (marz). Its administrative centre was the town of Berd.

History[]

The Shamshadin district was formed on the territory of the Armenian SSR on 24 June 1929, originally a part of the tsarist Kazakh Uyezd.

Shortly after the breakup of the Soviet Union, the Republic of Armenia combined the Shamshadin, and districts into the larger Tavush Province or marz.
