History
The first mentions of the village of Takyarlu date back to 1604 due to the large relocation of the population as a result of the conquest of Shah Abbas Persian . From the beginning to the middle of the twentieth century, livestock breeders of neighboring areas temporarily inhabited. Until 1965, the village was part of the Sevan district, in 1965-1988 - as part of the Hrazdan district of the Armenian SSR.
Previously, the village was merged with the Hankavan dairy farm. Currently administratively includes the settlement of Pyunik [4] . Until the 1990s, most of the villagers were Azeris.
