Lchashen
Renowned for its formidable Cyclopean fortress and regal burial sites, stands as one of Armenia's oldest settlements. Originally known as Portak, its name likely traces back to the Armenian toponym Berdak, with historical references indicating variations such as Berdats village or Berdk during the Middle Ages. The village underwent a renaming to Lchashe on April 26, 1946.
Historical records dating to the era of the Van Kingdom (8th century BC) provide insights into Lchashen's past. A notable artifact is a cuneiform inscription attributed to King Argishti I, identifying the land as belonging to the city of Kekhuni, which he conquered. Lchashen was integrated into the Etiun tribal confederation, a prominent faction within the Kingdom of Van, and served as a pivotal outpost along its northeastern frontier.
