Sayat-Nova (Armenian: Սայաթ-Նովա; Azerbaijani: Aşağı Necili, anglicized: Ashaghy Nejili) is a town in the Ararat Province of Armenia. The town 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 town.[1] It was renamed Sayat-Nova after the poet by the same name.
