RugNotes: Monday, April 04, 2005: "Karvajar (Kalbajar) province - KHNDZOREK AND THE VICINITY
Karvajar (Kalbajar) province "KHNDZOREK AND THE VICINITY This village was mentioned for the first time in 1653-54, in the manuscript Gospel of the scribe Martiros Khndzorektsi. In conformity with the cadastre of 1763 Khndzorek was one of the estates belonging to Dadi Vank monastery. It is situated on the right bank of Dutkhu, in a fertile valley, and the later population simply calqued its name to Almalu ('khndzor' means 'apple').
Ruins of a small fortress Jomart still dominate over the valley, on the summit with absolute altitude about 700 m (1876 m above the sea), 1.5 km north of the village Jomard.""
