Geghhovit (Шаблон:Lang-hy) is a village in the Martuni Municipality of the Gegharkunik Province of Armenia.

Etymology

The village is also known as Geghahovit, and was known as Verin Gharanlugh until 1968.

History

The village was founded in the 15th century. The village contains the roofless St. Gevorg Church, built in 1873.
