Nor Hachen ((アルメニア語:Նոր Հաճըն)), is a town in the Kotayk Province of Armenia, founded in 1953. The town is located on the right bank of Hrazdan River, to the west of the Arzni canyon, on the immediate proximity of the Arzni-Shamiram canal. Nor Hachen is bordered by the Arzni village and the town of Byureghavan from the east, the village of Nor Geghi from the north, the village of Nor Artamet from the west and the village of Getamej from the south. The Yeghvard training airfield is located to the west of Nor Hachen. The town has a population of 9,307 as per the 2011 census. ==Historical Background== The geographical location of present-day Nor Hachen corresponds with the location of the historical Kotayk canton of the Ayrarat province of the ancient Greater Armenia. In 1953, a small settlement was founded near the village of Arzni to accommodate the workers of the nearby hydro power plants, mainly the Arzni Hydro Power Plant which was opened in 1956. Subsequently the settlement became popularly known as "Silovoy" (the Russian naming of the power generator of the plant). With the establishment of the "Sapfir" stone-processing factory in 1958, along with many other industrial plants, a planned urban settlement was developed in the area of Silovoy settlement. During the 1960s, the new settlement was named Nor Hachen (New Haçin) in memory of the Armenian town of Hachen in Cilicia (nowadays known as Saimbeyli in modern-day Turkish Republic).〔(Nor Hachen )〕 Between 1988 and 1990, 374 Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan were resettled in Nor Hachen. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nor Hachen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
