Yaghdan (Armenian: Յաղդան) is a village in the Lori Province of Armenia.
History
Until the 1988 Armenian earthquake the village had an ethnic Greek-majority population, in the aftermath of the earthquake some 300 children were taken to Greece. What was intended to be a temporary event initiated a permanent migration of most of the settlement's Greek population to Greece. Today, the Greeks that remain in Yaghdan are mostly of mixed Greek/Armenian heritage, and many of the former Greek homes lie empty.
