Gavar or Gavarr is a city and provincial capital of the Armenian province of Gegharkunik.
Gavar is a lovely city near Lake Sevan in the Armenian highlands. The city was founded in 1830 by people from Bayazit (now in Turkey), and named "New Bayazit", and achieved city status in 1850. It was once home to 36,400 people but the population has declined to 23,302 reported in the 2001 census and an estimated 22,444 today. Much of the Soviet era infrastructure has failed and the industrial capacity has floundered. However, the local economy is improving at a slow rate. Some business people are returning to Gavar from abroad and there is hope the new mayor will greatly improve the city's public works.
The city is home to Gavar Special School which is the only school for mentally and physically handicapped children in the region. The Gavar Special School is currently carrying out steps to improve itself so it can become the premier school for special children in Armenia. The school is blessed to have many partners that can be found on its website.
Gavar does have a city portal which is used by many people outside of Gavar. The name of the portal is Kyavar.com as the locals pronounce the name of the city with a "ky" sound instead of a "g" sound at the beginning of the name. |
