Armavir (Armenian: Արմավիր) is a village in the Armavir Province of Armenia near the Armenia–Turkey border. Cuneiform inscriptions of Urartian King Sarduri II[1] were found at Armavir.
The village was founded in 1613, 1 km east of the site of ancient Armavir. After the Ottoman occupation, Armavir was renamed Ghurdughuli by the Turks in 1635. After the Soviet occupation of Armenia, the name of the village was renamed back Armavir in 1935.

It will be noticed that the inscriptions of Armavir, so far as they are known, all belong to Sarduris II.
