Kochari (Armenian: Քոչարի, romanized: K’očari; Azerbaijani: Köçəri; Greek: Κότσαρι, romanized: Kόtsari; Turkish: Koçari) is a folk dance originating in the Armenian Highlands.[1] It is performed today by Armenians,[2][3][4] while variants are performed by Assyrians,[5] Azerbaijanis,[6][7] and Pontic Greeks.[8] It is a form of circle dance.
Each region in the Armenian Highlands had its own Kochari, with its unique way of both dancing and music.[9]
